Photos Show Elections in Brazil Where Lula Faces Trump Ally Flávio Bolsonaro for President
Nearly 159 million voters could send the race to a runoff if no candidate wins a majority, officials said.
- Almost 159 million Brazilians began voting Sunday in a high-stakes presidential election pitting incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against challenger Flávio Bolsonaro.
- Lula, the 80-year-old incumbent seeking a fourth term, faces 45-year-old Bolsonaro, an ally of former U.S. President Donald Trump campaigning to release his imprisoned father from a 27-year sentence.
- Citizens are electing 27 state governors, all 513 federal lower house members, and 54 of the country's 81 senators alongside the presidential race on Sunday.
- Candidates need more than 50% of the vote for outright victory; if no candidate reaches that threshold, the top two finishers will face a runoff on October 25.
- The campaign has featured intense accusations and corruption allegations against former President Jair Bolsonaro, while some voters express weariness regarding Lula's long political career and age.
