Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, general election 2026: Governor

Final count

Turnout 81.6%: 2,167,714 ballots from 2,656,207 registered voters.

TSE EA20 result file, round 1, generated 24 Oct 2026 12:06:47 Brasília time: final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f'), 8,115 of 8,115 polling sections totalised on 24 Oct 2026 at 12:05:28 (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) 1,986,441; ballots = attendance ('c') 2,167,714; electorate ('te') 2,656,207; blank 76,524, null 104,749. No candidate won an absolute majority of valid votes: ALLYSON (UNIÃO) and CADU DE LULA (PT) go to the runoff of 25 Oct 2026 (status '2º turno'), so no winner is marked. Diplomação (by 18 Dec 2026) is a later formality and does not change the count. Observed: the TSE result file for RN (governor, cargo 3, election 6259) shows the final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f', all 8,115 polling sections) on 24 Oct 2026 at 12:05:28 Brasília time, recorded as 2026-10-24T15:05:28Z. That is a re-totalisation after polling day; the file does not show the time of the first one.
