Alagoas gubernatorial and Senate election updates

Overview

The Alagoas gubernatorial election remains a highly competitive contest between Renan Filho (MDB) and JHC (PSDB). Recent polling data indicates a tightening race. A Datasensus poll conducted between September 22 and 24 shows Renan Filho reaching 50% of valid votes, potentially securing a first-round victory, while JHC holds 48.5%. This follows other recent surveys, such as a DataTrends poll showing a technical tie with Filho at 45% and JHC at 44%, and a Real Time Big Data poll placing Filho at 46% to JHC’s 43% in a first-round scenario. However, a more recent TDL survey of 1,200 voters conducted in late September presents a different trend, showing JHC leading the race with 53.3% of valid votes, followed by Renan Filho at 41.4%. New data from Real Time Big Data, collected between September 21 and 24, suggests a technical tie in a simulated first round, with Renan Filho at 47% and JHC at 44%. This margin falls within the two-percentage-point error margin. The poll also indicates a close second-round scenario, with Filho at 47% and JHC at 45%. This period of polling coincided with significant political activity, including a visit to Maceió by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to support Renan Filho. On the eve of the 2026 elections, a Quaest poll shows a technical tie between the two main candidates. Considering only valid votes, Renan Filho holds 50% of the intention to vote, while JHC follows with 49%. In a second-round scenario, the candidates appear tied with 44% each. In spontaneous research, Renan Filho leads with 32% compared to JHC's 30%. Regarding the Senate race, where two seats are contested, Arthur Lira leads when combining first and second choices at 43.6%, followed by Marina JHC.
