Governor Mailza Assis (PP), 49, and Senator Alan Rick (Republicans), 50, will compete in the second round for command of Acre, projects the Datafolha institute.
With 98.06% of the ballots counted, Mailza obtained 49.68% of the valid votes, compared to Rick's 32.31% this Sunday (4).
Mailza took over the government in April after the departure of Gladson Cameli (PP), who left the position to run for a seat in the Senate. Elected vice governor in 2022, she went on to command the state and reached this year's election seeking her first direct term as governor.

To project that the dispute will go to the second round, Datafolha follows the counting data released by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) and, through its own system, projects the result considering the grouping of voters by mesoregion and the nature of the municipality in each state. When there is a reasonable number of votes counted in these groupings, it is possible to estimate that the election can no longer be decided in the first round.
Mailza and Alan reached the second round after facing four other candidates: the former mayor of Rio Branco Tião Bocalom (PSDB), the doctor Thor Dantas (PSB), the businessman and journalist Dr. Luisinho (Agir) and the banker Eudo Raffael (PCB).
During the campaign, Mailza presented continuity of management as one of the main hallmarks of his candidacy. His government plan for 2027 to 2030 was organized into ten axes and included proposals for health, education, security, infrastructure, agriculture, environment and economic development.
Among the promises are the creation of a children's emergency room, the expansion of the Opera Acre program and new ICU, hemodialysis and oncology services in the interior.
The governor also had a broad party alliance, which brought together PP, MDB, PDT, PL and União Brasil, among other acronyms. She maintained her support for Gladson Cameli in the Senate race and stated that she considers former president Jair Bolsonaro's relationship with Acre to be positive. During the campaign, he also said he respected voters who support Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).
Alan Rick built the campaign as opposition to the political group that runs the state. Senator and former federal deputy, he presented proposals for health, security, infrastructure and economic development. One of the main promises was the construction of a Metropolitan Urgency and Emergency Hospital in the Second District of Rio Branco, with a forecast of 300 beds, including 60 ICU beds.
Rick's campaign also had a strong presence in the interior. On street agendas, the senator visited municipalities, businesses and neighborhoods and participated in meetings with professional categories and political leaders.
The dispute between the two was also marked by actions and representations in the Electoral Court. Rick questioned the use of a heartfelt gesture by Mailza and his candidate for vice-president, Jéssica Sales, stating that the repetition of the symbol before the official start of the advertisement could characterize early electoral propaganda. The governor's campaign disputed the accusation and stated that the gesture was not exclusive to the candidacy.
Mailza also canceled his participation in a TV Gazeta debate on September 20, after confirming his presence. The campaign justified the absence due to electoral commitments in the interior. Alan Rick participated in the meeting, alongside Tião Bocalom, Thor Dantas, Dr. Luisinho and Eudo Raffael.
