The 2022 Alagoas state elections were held on October 2 (first round, for all positions) and October 30 (second round, for governor), as part of the general elections in Brazil. Eligible voters elected the governor and vice governor of the state and one senator with two alternates, as well as nine federal deputies and 27 state deputies. Those elected took office on January 1 (governor and vice governor) or February 1 (senator and deputies) 2023 for four-year terms (except in the case of the senator, who will serve an eight-year term).
The governor and deputy governors elected in this election will serve a slightly longer term. This is due to Constitutional Amendment No. 111, which amended the Constitution and stipulated that the term of office for state governors and the Federal District governor shall begin on January 6 after the election. However, the candidates elected in this election will take office on January 1, 2023, and leave office on January 6, 2027.
The current governor of the state is Paulo Dantas, indirectly elected by the Legislative Assembly of Alagoas for a temporary term ending on May 15, 2022. The position became vacant after Renan Filho resigned to run for the Federal Senate and the state had no deputy governor, since Luciano Barbosa had resigned to take office as mayor of Arapiraca in 2021. In addition, the president of the Legislative Assembly, Marcelo Victor, who should have assumed the line of succession, abstained because assuming the executive office would prevent him from being re-elected as a representative in the 2022 elections. Klever Loureiro, president of the Court of Justice of Alagoas, took office as interim governor between Renan Filho's resignation and the indirect election of Paulo Dantas.
For the Federal Senate election, the seat held by Fernando Collor de Mello, of the Brazilian Labour Party (PTB), who was re-elected in 2014, was up for grabs.
