The proportional elections held in Brazil in 1998 and 2002 display identical
statistical signatures. In particular, the distribution of votes among
candidates includes a power-law regimen. We suggest that the rationale behind
this robust scaling invariance is a multiplicative process in which the voter's
choice for a candidate is governed by a product of probabilities.
