1934 Brazilian presidential election
Open-knowledge reference entry
Indirect presidential elections were held in Brazil on 17 July 1934. Unlike previous elections which had been public (with the exception of the 1891 presidential election), this election was carried out by the Constituent Assembly. The result was a predictable victory for Getúlio Vargas, who received 175 of the 248 votes. The next elections did not take place until 1945, due to the Estado Novo dictatorship period.
“1934 Brazilian presidential election” enters the record as open-knowledge reference entry. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Brazilian, presidential and election can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“1934 Brazilian presidential election” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Brazilian, presidential and election provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4958891. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1934, 1891 and 1945.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
