During the second round of Brazil's presidential election, the campaign of candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva formally requested that the judiciary extend voting hours in at least five states, citing reported irregularities regarding transportation. The request was made on Sunday as the electoral process was underway.
Following this request, a judge from the Supreme Court of Brazil ordered a two-hour extension to the voting period. This judicial decision occurred after the initial count of ballots had already commenced, necessitating a temporary halt to the tallying process to accommodate the extended voting window.
