2026 elections in Roraima: voters choose two senators among candidates with different trajectories

This year, voters chose two candidates for the Senate because the mandate is eight years, but elections take place every four years. Thus, at each election, the House alternately renews one third and two thirds of its 81 seats. This year, 54 vacancies were up for grabs in the country.

Antonio Carlos Nicoletti, 45 years old, is from Ijuí (RS), graduated in law and is currently serving his second term as federal deputy for Roraima. He joined the Army in 2001 and, in 2015, joined the Federal Highway Police (PRF). The following year, he presided over the Union of Federal Highway Police Officers of Roraima and, in 2017, he was Sports Coordinator of the National Federation of Federal Highway Police Officers, in Brasília.

In politics, he was elected to public office for the first time in 2018, as a federal deputy for the PSL. In 2020, he ran for mayor of Boa Vista for the same party, but was not elected. He was re-elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 2022, this time for União Brasil.

Maria Teresa Sáenz Surita Guimarães, 70 years old, was born in São Manuel (SP) and has a degree in Tourism. She was mayor of Boa Vista for five terms and federal deputy for Roraima on two occasions.

She also ran for government of Roraima twice: in 1998 and in 2022, but was not elected. In this year's election, she has as Senate alternates Flávio Zacher (1st) and Professor Ilma Xaud (2nd), both affiliated with the PDT.

This Sunday, Roraima had 401,496 voters able to vote. They chose the representatives for president of the Republic, governor, two senators, federal and state deputies in the 2026 Elections.
