The 2022 Rio de Janeiro state election took place in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 2 October 2022. Voters elected a governor, vice governor, one senator, two alternate senator, 46 representatives for the Chamber of Deputies, and 70 Legislative Assembly members, with a possible second round to be held on 30 October, 2022. Under the Constitution of Brazil, the governor will be elected for a four-year term starting 1 January 2023.[1] and with the approval of Constitutional Amendment No. 111, it will end on 6 January, 2027.[2]
The incumbent governor, Cláudio Castro, a member of the Liberal Party, was eligible for a second term, and intended to run for reelection.[3] He was the Vice Governor of Rio de Janeiro until Wilson Witzel was convicted and removed from office in 30 April 2021 as a result of his impeachment trial.[4] Castro beat his opponent Marcelo Freixo in the first round.[5]
For the election to the Federal Senate, the seat occupied by Romário (PL), elected in 2014 by the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), was at dispute. [6] Romário won reelection against a disparate field of candidates including Alessandro Molon, Clarissa Garotinho, and Daniel Silveira, whose candidacy was disaualified after the election.[5]
