TSE EA20 result file, round 1, generated 4 Oct 2026 22:08:19 Brasília time: final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f'), 5,923 of 5,923 polling sections totalised on 4 Oct 2026 at 22:07:20 (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) 1,189,927; ballots = attendance ('c') 1,436,609; electorate ('te') 1,737,460; blank 54,754, null 154,847. Not in the rows, as the TSE does not count them as valid: votes for DR. HELTON (PSOL, 37,081, 'Anulado sub judice'). Elected in round 1 (absolute majority of valid votes, Constitution art. 28 with art. 77): FÁBIO (PSD), status 'Eleito'. Diplomação (by 18 Dec 2026) is a later formality and does not change the count. Observed: the TSE result file for SE (governor, cargo 3, election 6259) shows the final totalisation ('tf': 's', 'and': 'f', all 5,923 polling sections) on 4 Oct 2026 at 22:07:20 Brasília time, recorded as 2026-10-05T01:07:20Z.
