Voting began in Brazil’s presidential election on Sunday, with incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva facing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro.
France 24 International reported that nearly 160 million voters are also choosing lawmakers, senators and governors.
The contest is being watched as a test of whether Brazil follows a regional shift towards the right. That framing remains a question around the vote; the source reports no result or turnout figures.
With voting only beginning, the outcome of the presidential race and the other elections is not yet known.
