# 2017 President of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil election

The 2017 President of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil election took place on 2 February 2017, following the opening of the 3rd session of the 55th Legislature of the National Congress. Incumbent President Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ) received 293 votes, way over the majority of the chamber, to become its President. PTB leader Jovair Arantes (PTB-GO) garnered 105 votes, with 106 more going to other candidates (59 to André Figueiredo, 28 to Júlio Delgado, 10 to Luiza Erundina, 4 to Jair Bolsonaro, and 5 blank votes). As only 504 deputies in the 513-member Chamber cast a vote (due to absentees or members present but not voting), 253 votes were necessary to win.
