Gubernatorial elections were held in Brazil on 4 October 2026 as part of the nationwide general elections to elect tickets with state governors and their vice governors (as well as the Governor of the Federal District and their vice governor). A second round will be held on 25 October 2026 for states where no candidate was able to secure more than half of the votes in the first round.
Background Plans for gubernatorial campaigning began after the 2024 Brazilian municipal elections. According to Brazilian electoral law, no candidacy can be declared before July 2026, meaning anyone who is running prior to that date is considered a pre-candidate or potential candidate. +2022 Brazilian gubernatorial electionsStateOutgoing GovernorOutgoing Vice GovernorGovernor eligible for reelectionNamePartyNamePartyACMailza GomesPPALPaulo DantasMDBRonaldo LessaPDTAPClécio LuísUNIÃOElected SDTeles JuniorPDTAMRoberto CidadeUNIÃOSerafim CorrêaPSBBAJerônimo RodriguesPTGeraldo JúniorMDBCEElmano de FreitasPTJade RomeroPTElected MDBESRicardo FerraçoMDBElected PSDBDFCelina LeãoPPGODaniel VilelaMDBMACarlos BrandãoMDBElected PSBFelipe CamarãoPTMTOtaviano PivettaREPMSEduardo RiedelPPElected PSDBJosé Carlos BarbosaPSDElected PPMGMateus SimõesPSDElected NOVOPRRatinho JúniorPSDDarci PianaPSDPBLucas RibeiroPPPAHana GhassanMDBPERaquel LyraPSDElected PSDBPriscila KrausePSDElected CidadaniaPIRafael FontelesPTThemístocles FilhoMDBRJRicardo Couto de CastroNo partyRNFátima BezerraPTRSEduardo LeitePSDElected PSDBGabriel SouzaMDBROMarcos RochaPSDElected UNIÃOSérgio GonçalvesUNIÃORRSoldado SampaioREPSCJorginho MelloPLMarilisa BoehmPLSPTarcísio de FreitasREPFelicio RamuthMDB Elected PSDSEFábio MitidieriPSDZezinho SobralPSB Elected PDTTOWanderlei BarbosaREPLaurez da Rocha MoreiraPSD Elected PDT
