Brazil's 2026 General Election

Escalation: Final Day of Campaigning Heats Up

On the eve of the vote, both campaigns converged on São Paulo, which holds about a fifth of Brazil’s electorate. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva staged his traditional preelection Saturday parade through the city, riding a campaign truck. Flávio Bolsonaro also worked the state, aiming to firm up supporters and win the undecided.
