Federal Senate. The Federal Senate (Portuguese: Senado Federal) is the upper house of the National Congress of Brazil. Created by the first Constitution of the Brazilian Empire in 1824, it was initially similar to the United Kingdom's House of Lords. Since the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889 the Federal Senate has resembled the United States Senate.
Half and full Senate elections. Senators are elected by a preferential voting system known as proportional representation. Candidates for the Senate stand for a state or territory. It is a Constitutional requirement that each state be equally represented regardless of its population. There are a total of 76 Senators: 12 for each state and two for each territory. Senators for each state are elected for a six year term. Senators for each territory are elected for a term equivalent to the duration of the House of Representatives.
