About this election
The voting system
The 81-member Federal Senate is renewed by thirds and two-thirds in alternating cycles; in 2022 one seat per state and the Federal District — 27 in all — was up for election by first-past-the-post, each voter casting a single vote. Senators serve eight-year terms, and because every state has equal representation regardless of size, the chamber over-represents Brazil's smaller and more conservative states. A simple majority is 41; a three-fifths supermajority (49) is required to amend the constitution.
