Brazil's Supreme Court Extends Voting by Two Hours in Presidential Runoff

Brazil's Supreme Court has ruled that polling stations will remain open two hours longer on Sunday, following a joint request from both presidential candidates. The extension was granted to ensure broader voter access. The campaign of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva cited restricted public transport access in several cities, while opponent Flávio Bolsonaro's team pointed to heavy rainfall making stations harder to reach. The electoral commission has paused processing preliminary results due to the ruling. The vote is the second round of the presidential election, which Lula contests against far-right candidate Bolsonaro, son of convicted former president Jair Bolsonaro. The first round was won by Bolsonaro but without enough votes to avoid a runoff.
