Final count

Turnout 77.2%: 12,627,167 ballots from 16,361,188 registered voters.

TSE EA20 result file, round 1, generated 15 Oct 2026 19:11:12 Brasília time: final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f'), 52,062 of 52,062 polling sections totalised on 15 Oct 2026 at 19:07:05 (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) 11,410,371; ballots = attendance ('c') 12,627,167; electorate ('te') 16,361,188; blank 658,416, null 556,916. Not in the rows, as the TSE does not count them as valid: votes for HENRIQUE ÁREAS (PCO, 1,464, 'Anulado'). Elected in round 1 (absolute majority of valid votes, Constitution art. 28 with art. 77): CLEITINHO AZEVEDO (REPUBLICANOS), status 'Eleito'. Diplomação (by 18 Dec 2026) is a later formality and does not change the count.
