The present article analyses the electoral governance and the breking of Pernambuco’s First Republic most powerful oligarchy domain. In the national historiography the interpretation was solidified that, between 1889 and 1930, the regional oligarchies were kept in power by the fraud pratice, the control over the electors vote and the political hegemony of the republican parties. In this work we confirm this perception evidencing the Federal Congress choice in refusing the judicialization as an attempt to legitimize the electoral ritual. In this way, not even the unpublished active participation of electors and the excluded from voting rights in Pernambuco’s election of 1911, which resulted in the fall of Rosa e Silva oligarchy. It was able to provide the necessary reconfiguration in representative system of the new political regime.
