As a result of the Broad Front receiving more than 50% of the vote, its leader, Tabaré Vázquez, was elected president without the need for a second round. To date, this is the only time that a presidential election has been decided in a single round since the two-round system was introduced in 1999. The Broad Front also won majorities in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
