On October 4, 2026, approximately 158 million Brazilians will go to the polls for general elections that will determine the composition of the country’s key state offices for the coming years, including the president, legislators, and governors.
This election takes place forty years after the return of democracy in the country. Since then, Brazil has established a robust, though sometimes complex, electoral system that has helped make it one of the world’s largest democracies.
