Brazil Elections Headed for Runoff; Third-Party Candidates Gain Traction
El DeberLO·BR·2 days ago
Brazil's 2026 general election runoff is scheduled for October 25, the last Sunday of the month, covering only presidential and gubernatorial races. A runoff occurs if no candidate for executive positions (state, district, or federal) secures a majority of valid votes, excluding blanks and nulls. This is a routine electoral calendar announcement, confirming the second-round date and rules.
