Brazilians are voting in a closely contested presidential election, with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva facing Flávio Bolsonaro among the leading candidates. Surveys show Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro polling roughly even in a likely runoff. If no candidate wins more than half of valid votes, the top two will advance to a runoff on 25 October.
Other candidates, including former state governors Ronaldo Caiado and Romeu Zema, have struggled to break through with the polarized electorate.
Whoever wins will have to tackle high living costs, heavy household debt and the threat of street crime and more pervasive gang activity, according to analysts.
