Polls open in Brazil's tight presidential election runoff between Lula and Bolsonaro | CNN

Polls opened in Brazil’s presidential election runoff between former leftist leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, which has seen polls tighten dramatically in recent weeks.

Polls opened Sunday in Brazil’s presidential election runoff between former leftist leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and the far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, which has seen polls tighten dramatically in recent weeks. Voting will continue until 5 p.m. in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, with the country’s electronic ballot system confirming results about two hours after the voting concludes.

A poll by Datafolha on Saturday found that 52% of Brazilians would vote for Lula, while 48% would pick Bolsonaro, indicating a narrowing of opinion polls in the weeks leading up to the vote. Both candidates have used this election to attack one another at every turn, and rising anger has overshadowed the polls and clashes among their supporters have left many voters feeling fearful of what is to come.
