A July poll by the Delta Institute placed Senator Márcio Bittar ahead in the 2026 Acre Senate race, with former governors Gladson Cameli and Jorge Viana trailing closely within the poll’s margin of error. A second simulation that omitted Cameli still showed Bittar leading, followed by Viana and Mara Rocha. In the same period, Acre’s Secretary of Government Luiz Calixto denied any negotiations to name Vagner Sales as the governor’s running mate, countering earlier speculation.

Later in July, former governor Jorge Viana competed in the OAB Acre “Corrida da Advocacia,” winning his category. He used the event to reaffirm his focus on the upcoming Senate contest and resumed campaign activities across the state.

These developments trace the evolving dynamics of the Acre Senate contest, from early polling and candidate positioning to Viana’s renewed campaign momentum.
