Americas4 sources4 countries36m ago
Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered polling stations to remain open for an additional two hours following the official 5:00 p.m. Brasilia time deadline on Sunday. The extension was granted in response to reports of transportation issues affecting voters participating in the presidential runoff election between incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and challenger Flavio Bolsonaro.
Election officials were required to delay the vote count as a result of the extended polling hours. The contest is characterized by observers as a highly competitive race between the left-wing president and his far-right opponent, with the outcome expected to be narrow.
