About elections in Brazil
I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the Brazil hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 6 Brazil elections I cover, each with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places, and an interactive map you can explore region by region.
Brazil (the Federative Republic of Brazil) is the largest country in South America and the world's fourth-largest democracy, with an electorate of more than 150 million. Under the 1988 Constitution, executive power is held by a President who is both head of state and head of government, directly elected for a four-year term and eligible for one consecutive re-election. Legislative power rests with a bicameral National Congress: the Chamber of Deputies (Câmara dos Deputados) of 513 members and the Federal Senate (Senado Federal) of 81 members. Brazil is a federation of 26 states and a Federal District, each with its own governor and legislature elected on the same day as the national vote.
The president is elected by the two-round system: a candidate must win more than half of the valid votes to be elected in the first round, otherwise the two best-placed candidates contest a run-off three weeks later. Deputies are elected by open-list proportional representation within each state — one multi-member constituency per state, apportioned by population from 8 to 70 seats — which, combined with dozens of parties, produces a highly fragmented chamber. Senators, three per state, are elected by first-past-the-post for eight-year terms, with the chamber renewed by one-third and two-thirds in alternating four-year cycles. Voting is compulsory for literate citizens aged 18 to 70 and is conducted entirely on electronic voting machines, which deliver a near-complete national count within hours of polls closing.
From 1994 to 2014 Brazilian presidential politics alternated between the centre-left Workers' Party (PT) and the centrist Social Democracy Party (PSDB). That order broke down after the 2014 recession, the Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato) corruption scandal and the 2016 impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. In 2018 the far-right outsider Jair Bolsonaro won the presidency, his Social Liberal Party surging in Congress, while traditional parties collapsed. In 2022 a politically rehabilitated Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva narrowly defeated Bolsonaro in the closest election in Brazilian history, only for Bolsonaro's supporters to storm the capital's institutions on 8 January 2023. Throughout, a defining feature has been the gap between the presidency and a fragmented, often right-leaning Congress dominated by the pragmatic "centrão" bloc, which any government must court to pass legislation. The central issues have been corruption, the economy, public security, and the protection of the Amazon.
Elections are administered by the Superior Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral), with official results published at tse.jus.br. This page collects Brazil's federal general-election results — the presidential, Chamber of Deputies and Senate elections of 2018 and 2022 — with interactive maps of the presidential runoff vote by state.
Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for Brazil — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
