* 200 of the seats
were distributed on a proportional basis among parties winning more than
2% of the vote nationwide.
Note: In 2000, all seats were renewed for the first time, half (64) by majority vote in each state and Federal District, one-quarter (32) by assignment to the leading minority candidate in each of the 32 elective districts, and one-quarter (32) by national proportional representation. As a result, no senators were up for election in 2003.
