Brazil is made up of 26 States and a Federal District. Their independence is guaranteed by Brazil's 1988 Constitution. Brazil's states maintain a separation between executive and legislature. Each of the 27 governors must achieve more than 50 per cent of the vote, including a run-off between the top two candidates if necessary. State legislatures have only one chamber. The deputies are elected through an open-list system in which the state serves as one constituency.
