Context

The data comes from the Entidade das Contas e Financiamentos Políticos (ECFP), released on October 22, 2026. It details the spending of all presidential candidates, including Ventura's three times larger budget compared to Seguro's, and lists other candidates like Henrique Gouveia and João Cotrim with their respective expenditures.

Limitations

The evidence covers only the 11 presidential candidates who submitted accounts to the ECFP. It does not include data on candidates who did not submit accounts, such as Humberto Correia and Manuel João Vieira, nor does it provide information on the total number of votes cast or the final results of the first round beyond Ventura's 23.5%.
