User blog:Lumogo/São Martins gubernatorial election, 2022

In context, in October 2nd, 2022, the same day as the Palesian presidential election was held, São Martins, alongside the remaining 27 states in Palesia and the Federal District, voted for its Governor and the members of the Legislative Assembly for the next four years as well as its representatives for the Federal Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Since neither candidate reached 50% or more of the votes, a second round was held on October 30th, 2022 between the two most voted candidates. The candidates for the third seat of the Senate can be found here.

Under the terms of the Palesian Constitution, incumbent Governor Fernando Vogt (elected in 2018) was eligible for a second consecutive term and ran for reelection, eventually losing to Chico Rossi in the second round, marking the return of both the candidate, who already served as Governor for two consecutive terms between 2003 and 2010, and the Workers' Party to the State Government.
