  "account": "Brazil will hold its presidential election on Sunday, October 4, 2026, with a runoff between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro taking place on October 25. Polls show the race closely contested, with Lula leading in first-round vote shares of 37-41% compared to Bolsonaro's 30-37%. Augusto Cury rounds out the top three with 7.8-11% support. Both front-runners have rejection rates near 50%, leaving few swing voters for the runoff. Lula needs over 50% of valid votes to win on election day; otherwise, the runoff will determine the outcome.",
