1863 Riograndense general election (RRG)

The 1863 Riograndense general election was held on October 4, 1863. The elections determined the president and Chamber of Deputies as the Senate was reformed in 1860 and no senators were elected in 1863. The election resulted in yet another victory for the Radical Party as Manuel Lucas de Oliveira was re-elected and the opposition Party of Order lost its last seat in the Chamber.

Background
The first term of Lucas de Oliveira was marked by the continuation of the policies of economic liberalism of the previous Radical governments. The continued rise in foreign investment led to the rapid expansion of the railway and telegraph systems, the reconstruction of Porto Alegre's port and the rise of the financial sector as more and more foreign banks were established.
