(Latin Steampunk) 1872 Riograndense legislative election

The 1872 Riograndense legislative election was the third legislative of the New Republic, held on September 7, 1872. The election was held two years into Lucas de Oliveira's second term. The campaign was centered around the emergence of the Conservative Party, a union of the People's Party, the National Party, and those that had previously refused to recognize the legitimacy of the New Republic. The Radical Party achieved its third successive majority in the National Assembly despite a diminished share of the popular vote.
