Brazil's 2026 general election first-round voting was held on Oct 4. Polling stations opened at 08:00 and closed at 17:00 Brasilia time. Voters elected president and vice president, governors of 26 states and the Federal District, 54 federal senators, 513 federal deputies and state/district legislators. More than 10 candidates are registered; leading names include incumbent President Lula and Senator Bolsonaro. Under Brazil's rules a presidential candidate must secure a majority of valid votes (>50%) to win in the first round; if no candidate achieves that, the top two advance to a runoff on Oct 25.
