The São Paulo state elections of 2002 was held along with Brazilian general elections, on October 6 and on October 27, 2006. Since 1994, as a result of a constitutional amendment which reduced the presidential term to four years, all federal and state elections in Brazil have coincided. The state elections decide Governors and the state deputies for the Legislative Assemblies. Also, the members of the National Congress are elected by state.^[1]

Governor and Vice-Governor

In general, the rules of the presidential ballot also apply to the gubernatorial one. That is, the ballot is taken in two rounds, if no one reaches at least an absolute majority of the valid votes, a second round between the two most voted candidates will be held. All the candidates holding executive posts had to renounce till April 2, 2002 in order to be able to run.

The candidates for Governor of São Paulo were, in no particular order:

The Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) – was the governing party, though the incumbent governor Geraldo Alckmin had taken over after the death of Mário Covas.
Workers' Party (PT) – the main opposition party in the state chose José Genoíno, a Federal Deputy and former Guerrilla fighter as its candidate.
Brazilian Progressive Party (PPB) chose former governor Paulo Maluf as its candidate
Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB) – chose Federal Deputy Lamartine Posella as its candidate.
Other candidates included Carlos Apolinário (PGT).^[2]
