Strictly uncontested elections (where Wikipedia records only one candidate) are eliminated automatically. The campaigns for the 1934 and 1965 elections had started and candidates were well known before they were cancelled, and they remain of historical significance. Indirect elections are not included in this survivor. The 2010 election is included because candidates are known and the campaign has kicked off.

English and Portuguese Wikipedia have information about all these elections.

1898
2010 (don't kill me, but it's not really suspenseful...)

1898
1902

When we finally eliminate all these landslide elections i'm willing to vote for 2010 since i don't think elections that still haven't happened should go very far (even if the campaign has already started).

Question: wasn't the election in 1964, not '65?  What about 1934?

Question: wasn't the election in 1964, not '65?  What about 1934?

No, the 1945 Constitution had five-year terms (45, 50, 55, 60, 65 etc). 1934 was an indirect ballot, just like 1891 and 1985 and all the military elections.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
