please, can somebody explain me why vote fore brazilian senate explode in 2018 ?
I thought first it was a particularity of brazilian senate, so, I expected to find the same weird numbers in 2014, but no. 2014 senate vote was normal.
Those numbers came from the very official TSE.
Is it possible than it is a human error, thus, every people giving numbers about brazil's 2018 senate election use the same wrong source ?
Or is there a new electoral law just put in place for this 2018 senate election ?
Every state has 3 seats, 1 was up in 2014, 2 in 2018.
Yup, and each senator term lasts 8 years.
2014 renovated 1/3 of the senate, in 2018 people had to vote for two candidates in each state to renovate the other 2/3.
In 2022 the votes will naturally fall to half of 2018 since they will pick only one senator.
