Brazil votes in presidential runoff with Bolsonaro and Lula in tight race

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Brazil's presidential runoff election takes place Sunday, with Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) competing for the presidency. Five states and the Federal District will also elect governors. On Saturday night, TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques partially reversed an earlier ruling, authorizing federal agency vehicles to transport indigenous voters. This follows a Thursday federal court decision in Pará mandating free transport for indigenous, quilombola, and traditional community members, including financial and logistical support. Supporters of both candidates held final campaign rallies Saturday in cities including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte. A Datafolha poll released Saturday shows 45% of voters reject Bolsonaro and 46% reject Lula, compared to 46% and 45% respectively the previous week.
