General elections are scheduled to be held in Brazil on 2 October 2022 to elect the President, Vice President and the National Congress. Elections for state Governors and Vice Governors, State Legislative Assemblies and the Federal District Legislative Chamber will be held at the same time. Under 2020 ruling by the Superior Electoral Court, political parties must allocate part of their lists and air-time during election campaign to black candidates.[1]

The Superior Electoral Court estimates that Brazil will have 148 million voters for the next election, placing the country as the second largest democracy in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the largest in the world.[2]

Electoral system[]

Voting in Brazil is allowed for citizens over 16 years old and mandatory for those between 18 and 70 years old. Those who do not vote in an election and do not later present an acceptable justification (such as being absent from their voting location at the time) must pay a fine of 3.51 BRL (equivalent to 0.96 USD).[3][4] Brazilian citizens residing abroad are only allowed to vote for president.

Presidential elections[]

The President and Vice President of Brazil are elected using the two-round system. Citizens may field their candidacies for the Presidency and participate in the general elections, which are held on the first Sunday of October (in this instance, 2 October 2022).[5] If a candidate receives more than 50% of the overall vote, he/she is elected. If the 50% threshold is not met by any candidate, a second round of voting is held on the last Sunday of October (in this instance, 30 October 2022). In the second round, only the two candidates who receive the most votes from the first round may participate. The winner of the second round is elected President of Brazil. The President selects his/her Vice President.

Gubernatorial elections[]

The Governors and Vice Governors of all states and of the Federal District will be elected, in two rounds if needed, in the same way as the presidential election.

Congressional elections[]

Federal Senate elections[]

One-third of the 81 members of the Federal Senate will be elected, the other two-thirds having been elected in 2018. One candidate will be elected from each of the states and the Federal District using majority voting.[6]

Chamber of Deputies elections[]

All 513 members of the Chamber of Deputies (Federal Deputies) will be elected, with candidates elected from 27 multi-member constituencies corresponding to the states and the Federal District, varying in size from 8 to 70 seats. The Chamber elections are held using open list proportional representation, with seats allocated using the simple quotient. The remaining seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method.[7]

Legislative Assemblies elections[]

All members of the State Legislative Assemblies (State Deputies) and of the Federal District Legislative Chamber (District Deputies), varying in size from 24 to 94 seats, will be elected. These elections are also held using open list proportional representation, with seats allocated using the simple quotient.
