Brazil is holding the first round of a presidential election described as the most polarized in its recent history this Sunday. Voters will have to choose between a fourth term for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva or a possible return to power for the Bolsonaro family.
A runoff that seems inevitable
Although the first round is being held this Sunday, available analyses suggest that a runoff, scheduled for October 25, is practically inevitable given the level of fragmentation and polarization among voters.
The contest reflects the deep political division running through the country, pitting two clearly distinct political projects against each other. The result of this first round will set the tone for the campaign heading into the runoff.
Available information has not specified further details about the other candidacies in the race or about the results of polls taken ahead of election day.
