Ballots reach remote Indigenous Brazilians ahead of presidential election
Ballot boxes reach remote Indigenous communities by boat as Brazil votes, with Amazon conservation a key issue.
Brazilians are set to vote in a highly competitive presidential election on Sunday, with the outcome potentially influencing Latin America's political landscape. The race is between incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of the country's former president, Jair Bolsonaro. Currently, polls indicate that Lula da Silva might not achieve the majority needed for a win in the first round, which could lead to a runoff on October 25 between Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro.
A significant issue in the campaign is public safety, with crime being a major concern for voters, prompting candidates to pledge more stringent measures.
