Voters in Brazil head to polls as Lula goes up against Bolsonaro's son
Voters across Brazil are heading to the polls in a runoff vote pitting Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.
Voters across Brazil are heading to the polls for a runoff election that will decide the country's next president. The contest pits Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.
The vote follows a hard-fought campaign in Latin America's largest country, where the two camps offer sharply different visions for Brazil's economy, institutions and place in the world.
Polling stations opened across the country's states, with millions of Brazilians expected to cast ballots through the day. Election officials will begin counting once voting closes.
The result will shape Brazil's direction for years to come, and will be watched closely across the region and beyond.
