Brazil held a tense and polarizing presidential runoff election featuring a tight race between incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his opponent, following a first-round election that had produced surprising results three weeks prior.
On Sunday, Brazil's Supreme Court extended voting time by two hours, a decision prompted by requests from both candidates due to voting issues in their respective strongholds. The extension of voting hours generated chaos and confusion among voters at polling locations.
The election represents a high-stakes, knife-edge contest for the country, marked by stiff competition and logistical complications surrounding the extended voting procedures.
