Electoral system

In general, the rules for the presidential elections are also applied to the state. The elections have two rounds, if none of the candidates reaches an absolute majority of the valid votes, a second round between the two most voted candidates happens. All candidates with executive positions should resign by April 7, in order to run.
= Senatorial election =
According to the planned rotation for the 2018 Senate elections, two seats for each state will be up for grabs for the 8-year term. The two candidates with the most votes are elected and there is no second round for legislative elections.

The alternate senator also assumes the seat in cases of resignation of the Incumbent senator for personal reasons, death or revocation of the term.{{Cite web |last=de Santa Catarina |first=Tribunal Regional Eleitoral |date=28 July 2011 |title=Regras de suplência de senador podem ser mudadas na reforma política |url=https://tre-sc.jusbrasil.com.br/noticias/2787898/regras-de-suplencia-de-senador-podem-ser-mudadas-na-reforma-politica |access-date=24 May 2022 |website=Jusbrasil}}

Rejected candidacies
On September 4, 2018, the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará (TRE-CE) rejected the Statement of Regularity of Party Acts (SRPA) of the Workers' Cause Party (PCO) due to the absence of a regularly constituted directory in the State. Because of this, the candidacy of Mikaelton Carantino and the other candidates launched by the party in other positions were rejected.{{Cite web |date=2018-09-23 |title=Mikaelton Carantino desiste de disputar o governo - Política |url=https://diariodonordeste.verdesmares.com.br/politica/mikaelton-carantino-desiste-de-disputar-o-governo-1.2003842 |access-date=2022-05-22 |website=Diário do Nordeste |language=pt-br}} At the end of the month, Carantino resigned to his candidacy and announced he was leaving the party. {{Cite web |date=2018-09-23 |title=Mikaelton Carantino renuncia e está fora da disputa pelo Governo do Ceará {{!}} |url=https://www.politicacomk.com.br/mikaelton-carantino-renuncia-e-esta-fora-da-disputa-pelo-governo-do-ceara/ |access-date=2022-05-22 |language=pt-BR}} His name, however, was included in the DRE voting machine.

Rejected candidacies
On August 27, 2018, the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará (TRE-CE) rejected the candidacy of José Alberto Bardawil on the grounds that "the applicant was not chosen at a convention and presented only one candidate as an alternate senator", in this case, his own brother Walter Bardawil.{{Cite web |last=disse |first=Flaviano |date=2018-08-27 |title=TRE-CE indefere candidatura de José Alberto Bardawil ao Senado |url=https://blogs.opovo.com.br/politica/2018/08/27/tre-ce-indefere-candidatura-de-bardawil-ao-senado/ |access-date=2022-05-23 |website=Política |language=pt-BR}} The party he was affiliated with, Podemos (PODE), had already launched Eunício Oliveira in a majority coalition with the Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB).{{Cite web |date=16 August 2018 |title=TRE registra 866 pedidos de candidaturas |url=https://www.opovo.com.br/jornal/reportagem/2018/08/tre-registra-866-pedidos-de-candidaturas.html |access-date=22 May 2022 |website=O Povo}} Subsequently, Bardawil announces his resignation from the candidacy. Like the candidate for governor by the Workers' Cause Party (PCO), Mikaelton Carantino, the candidacy of Alexandre Barroso was also rejected by the TRE-CE.{{Cite web |date=2018-09-23 |title=Mikaelton Carantino desiste de disputar o governo - Política |url=https://diariodonordeste.verdesmares.com.br/politica/mikaelton-carantino-desiste-de-disputar-o-governo-1.2003842 |access-date=2022-05-23 |website=Diário do Nordeste |language=pt-br}} Despite the rejections, the names of Barroso and Burns were included in the DRE voting machine.
