Brazil's election results: the TSE

The Superior Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral) organises and oversees elections in Brazil. It publishes results from electronic voting machines down to polling section level, candidate registrations, declared assets and campaign accounts, and an open data portal with full files.

What it publishes

• Live and final results for president, governors, Senate, Chamber of Deputies, state assemblies and municipal offices.
• Candidate registrations, declared assets and campaign income and spending (DivulgaCandContas).
• Voter roll statistics.
• Ballot machine reports (boletins de urna) for each polling section.

When it publishes

General elections are held every four years in October, with a second round about three weeks later where needed; municipal elections fall midway.

How to use it to check a claim

1. Check the percentage of sections counted for any early result.
2. Shares are of valid votes, which exclude blank and null votes.
3. For deputies, seats depend on party and federation totals under proportional representation.

Common mistakes

• Comparing a candidate's share of valid votes with a share of all votes cast.

Are TSE pages blocked outside Brazil?

The main TSE site may block automated access; the results site and open data portal were reachable when checked.
