National Congress Of Brazil

• The Senate (Senado Federal) contains 81 seats: three senators from each state and three from the Federal District, elected on a majority basis to serve eight-year terms. Elections are staggered so that two-thirds of the upper house is up for election at one time and one-third four years later.

• The Chamber of Deputies (Cmara dos Deputados) comprises 513 deputies, who are elected by proportional representation to serve four-year terms. Elections based on a complex system of proportional representation by states. The seats are alloted proportionally to each state's population, but each state is eligible for a minimum of eight seats and a maximum of 70 seats. The result is a system weighted in favor of smaller states.
