Pernambuco, Brazil, general election 2026: Governor

Final count

Turnout 81.8%: 5,905,236 ballots from 7,216,989 registered voters.

TSE EA20 result file, round 1, generated 24 Oct 2026 12:42:07 Brasília time: final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f'), 21,418 of 21,418 polling sections totalised on 24 Oct 2026 at 12:41:15 (Brasília time, UTC-3). The file shows only its latest totalisation: this race was re-totalised after polling day, and the time of the first totalisation is not in the file. 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) 5,266,852; ballots = attendance ('c') 5,905,236; electorate ('te') 7,216,989; blank 156,481, null 481,903. Elected in round 1 (absolute majority of valid votes, Constitution art. 28 with art. 77): RAQUEL LYRA (PSD), status 'Eleito'. Diplomação (by 18 Dec 2026) is a later formality and does not change the count. Observed: the TSE result file for PE (governor, cargo 3, election 6259) shows the final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f', all 21,418 polling sections) on 24 Oct 2026 at 12:41:15 Brasília time, recorded as 2026-10-24T15:41:15Z. That is a re-totalisation after polling day; the file does not show the time of the first one.
