Brazil votes in tight presidential runoff between Lula and Bolsonaro

Brazil votes today in a presidential runoff between incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, with 158.7 million voters eligible. Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time, with counting starting immediately after. In the first round, Bolsonaro led with 47.03% of valid votes against Lula's 45.16%, a margin of about 2.2 million votes. Official results may take time due to the tight race, with exit polls banned until polls close. Undecided voters and the 33.47 million who abstained in the first round could prove decisive, as could the roughly 9.3 million votes cast for other, mostly right-wing, candidates.
