The 2022 Mato Grosso do Sul state election took place in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil between 2 October 2022 (first round) and 30 October 2022 (second round). Voters elected a governor, vice governor, a senator, 8 representatives for the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil (federal deputies) and 24 Legislative Assembly members (state deputies).[1] The incumbent governor at the time, Reinaldo Azambuja, wasn't allowed to run for reelection for a third consecutive time due to term limits established by the Federal Constitution of Brazil (art. 14, paragraph 5).[2]

Eduardo Riedel, a member of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party was elected governor along with José Carlos Barbosa, his vice governor, a member of Progressistas.[3] The governor and the vice governor are both elected for a four-year term starting 1 January 2023[4] and with the approval of Constitutional Amendment nº 111, their terms will end on 6 January 2027.[5]

For the Federal Senate election, the seat occupied by the incumbent Simone Tebet (MDB) was at dispute. She was first elected as a senator in 2014 Mato Grosso do Sul state elections[6] and decided to run for presidency in 2022 Brazilian general election.[7] Tereza Cristina, the former Minister of Agriculture of Brazil under the Presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, was elected to replace Tebet as a senator for an eight-year term (2023–2031).[8]
