(Latin Steampunk) 1861 Riograndense general election

The 1861 Riograndense general election was held on April 6 in order to elect all 44 members of the Chamber of Deputies. This election led to the end of the Republican domination of national politics, as the elected Chamber came back inconclusive with no party gaining a majority of seats. José Ricardo Pinheiro de Ulhôa Cintra was elected president in 1863.

This general election would be the last for the Old Republic, as the worsening repression of the Radical Party led to a military coup in 1864. This military coup would result in the creation of the New Republic.
