It has the function of replacing the governor in case of travel abroad or impediments and to succeed him in case of resignation, death or removal from office by specific process. He must also give advice to the governor, if requested. [1]

The term of office of the vice-governor of Mato Grosso do Sul is four years with the right to run for consecutive re-election, if chosen again by the governor. Upon taking office, he takes an oath to uphold and defend the federal and state constitutions, national and state laws, the integrity of the Union and the independence of the country. The Vice Governor is automatically elected along with the Governor every four years, with no votes being cast directly for him, being elected on a slate basis. This system was implemented to prevent the lieutenant governor from being from the governor's opposition party. [2]

Despite the state being installed in 1979 with the inauguration of Harry Amorim Costa, the position of lieutenant governor was only made official with the first state elections in Brazil after more than two decades, in 1982. With his absence, the president of the Legislative Assembly was next in line of succession.
