2014 Uruguayan general election

General elections were held in Uruguay on 26 October 2014, alongside a constitutional referendum. Since no presidential candidate won an absolute majority in the first round of voting, a runoff took place on 30 November. 

Current President José Mujica was unable to run for another consecutive terms. The majority Broad Front Party nominated Mujica's predecessor, Tabaré Vázquez, as its candidate. 

Vázquez advanced to the runoff with National Party candidate Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou, son of former president Luis Alberto Lacalle de Herrera. In the runoff, Vázquez was elected in a landslide victory. The Broad Front also kept its majority in the Chamber of Deputies, winning 50 of the 99 seats.
