User:Sailoratlantis/2006 Paraná gubernatorial election

The gubernatorial elections in Paraná in 2006 took place along with the Federal Elections in Brazil, on October 1 and October 29. Since 1994, as a result of a constitutional amendment that reduced the presidential term to four years, all federal and state elections in Brazil have coincided. State elections decide governors and state deputies to the Legislative Assemblies. Also members of the National Congress are elected by state.

The former senator from Paraná, Roberto Requião, who was elected governor in 1990, was reelected in the state for a second term. His main opponents were: Osmar Dias (PDT) and Flávio Arns (PT).

Results
Requião was re-elected in the second round by a very tight difference of 10,479 votes, equivalent to 0.2% of valid votes (received 2,668,611 votes, compared to 2,658,132 from Osmar Dias). He is the first governor of Paraná to win three terms by direct election.
