Indirect presidential elections were held in Brazil on 25 October 1969. The elections were the third held under the Brazilian military government, and used an electoral college system.

## Background

[edit]

The National Congress had been closed since Institutional Act Number Five was issued on 13 December 1968. President Artur da Costa e Silva left office on 14 October due to ill health, later dying on 17 December. Vice-President Pedro Aleixo was not allowed to replace Costa e Silva, so the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate were reopened to elect the a President and Vice-President, under the Instituctional Act 16.

The candidacies of General Emílio Garrastazu Médici and vice Augusto Rademaker were approved on the National Renewal Alliance Party's national convention on 16 October.[1]

## Results

[edit]

Voting took place in the National Congress on 25 October. There were discourses from Oscar Passos from MDB, Filinto Muller from ARENA and Paulo Brossard from MDB.[2]
