Indirect presidential elections were held in
Brazil on 17 July 1934.[1] Unlike previous elections which had been public (with the exception of the
1891 presidential election), this election was carried out by the
Constituent Assembly. The result was a predictable victory for
Getúlio Vargas, who received 175 of the 248 votes. The next elections did not take place until 1945, due to the
Estado Novo dictatorship period.
