| | Elections in Brazil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Brazil elects on the national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. | | | Fernando Henrique Cardoso (elected for the 1995-1998 term) passed a controversial Constitutional Amendment which allows the president to serve two consecutive times and was reelected for the 1999-2002 term. | | | The Federal Senate (Senado Federal) has 81 members, elected for a eight-year term, with elections every four years for alternatively one-third and two-third of the seats. |

| | Brazilian General Elections, 2006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Brazil is a highly centralized Federation; hence, the terms and election dates for State-level elections are determined by the Federal Constitution and are held in the same dates and years of the Federal Elections. | | | State elections in 2006 will include elections to the unicameral Legislative Assemblies in all States and to the unicameral Legislative Chamber of the Federal District. | | | The Senate is almost untainted by the corruption scandal in the lower Chamber and only one third of it will be up for election in 2006 (one senator for each of the 26 States and one for the Federal District). |

| | In 1937, during the campaigns for elections in the coming January, the government declared the country to be in a ‘state of war’, and in November 1937 Vargas mounted a coup d'état, closed Congress, and abolished the former political parties. | | | Under the 1988 constitution, Brazil is a federal republic of 26 states and a federal district (Brasília). | | | Despite wins for the PRN in the 1990 general election, widespread abstentions showed disillusionment with Collor's policies, and in February 1992 he was stripped of his powers by Congress, accused of corruption, and replaced by Vice-president Itamar Franco. |

| | 1994 Elections in Brazil |
| | Voters absent from their electoral domicile on election day must go to the nearest post office to purchase, fill out and mail an "electoral justification" to the electoral judge in their home district, since non-voting is punishable by a fine. | | | On election day, Brazilian voters received two ballots: a yellow ballot for presidential, gubernatorial and senatorial races, and a white ballot for the federal Chamber of Deputies and the State Assemblies. | | | Since Brazilian law provides for a second round of presidential and gubernatorial elections if no candidate in those races receives at least half of the valid vote, a second round was held on November 15 to decide gubernatorial races in the 18 of 27 states where no candidate received the necessary majority. |

| | Election rules forbid election officials from entering the voting booth with some vote in progress, and the omission happened even in the two small states going ballot-printing in full. | | | Shortly before the one year deadline for the 2002 elections, however, he changed his mind about the delay waver for matters “of technical nature” and asked for urgency, sending his request for those sixteen amendments the day before the proposal was to be voted under urgency in the Senate, two days from that deadline. | | | Then, later, the president of the Senate confided to a reverenced federal prosecutor that he knew who voted for and against the corrupt junior senator on that vote, supposed to be secret. |

| | The 1994 elections were significant because the presidential election coincided with the general elections for governor, senator, and federal and state deputy for the first time since 1950. | | | Of the fifty-four Senate seats up for election in 1994, only nine incumbents were reelected. | | | The PSDB-PFL-PTB alliance elected nine (33 percent) governors, twenty-four of fifty-four (44 percent) senators up for election, 182 of 513 (35 percent) federal deputies, and 324 of 1,045 (31 percent) state deputies. |

The assumption of positions in the current administration by members or advisors to the new government through year's end would lessen uncertainties as the executive changes hands. |
