Turnout 80.3%: 4,158,395 ballots from 5,180,851 registered voters.

TSE EA20 result file, round 1, generated 5 Oct 2026 02:01:55 Brasília time: final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f'), 18,093 of 18,093 polling sections totalised on 5 Oct 2026 at 02:00:33 (Brasília time, UTC-3). Rows: each candidate's ballot name and party as the TSE writes them, with nominal votes. totalVotes = valid votes ('vv', nominal only: no party-label votes for this office) 3,846,156; ballots = attendance ('c') 4,158,395; electorate ('te') 5,180,851; blank 93,669, null 169,646. Not in the rows, as the TSE does not count them as valid: votes for ROBERTO ROCHA (PRTB, 48,924, 'Anulado sub judice'). Elected in round 1 (absolute majority of valid votes, Constitution art. 28 with art. 77): EDUARDO BRAIDE (PSD), status 'Eleito'. Diplomação (by 18 Dec 2026) is a later formality and does not change the count. Observed: the TSE result file for MA (governor, cargo 3, election 6259) shows the final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f', all 18,093 polling sections) on 5 Oct 2026 at 02:00:33 Brasília time, recorded as 2026-10-05T05:00:33Z.
