In the 2026 Elections, which will take place on October 4, voters in São Paulo, the largest electoral college in Brazil with more than 34 million voters, will have the opportunity to vote for the position of Federal Senator. The position will be voted on twice on the electronic voting machine during the first round.

The state of São Paulo has 15 candidates for the Senate available for voters to choose from. GLOBO published a complete list with the name, number, and profile of each candidate, although the specific details are not present in the available excerpt.

To vote for a Senate candidate, the voter must type the corresponding three-digit number on the electronic voting machine and confirm the vote after checking that the photo, name, number, and party are correct by pressing the green confirmation button.

Among the duties of a senator are overseeing the Executive Branch, creating a Parliamentary Investigation Committee (CPI), and approving or blocking presidential nominations, among other constitutional powers.
