Voters in Brazil on Sunday are deciding whether conservative President Jair Bolsonaro will remain in office for another term or if his left-wing archrival, former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, will return to the job he held from 2003 to 2010.
Both candidates voted Sunday and expressed confidence in their chances for victory in the runoff election.
In the October general election, Mr. Lula da Silva, known throughout Brazil as “Lula,” received 57 million votes compared to 51 million for the incumbent. But Mr. Bolsonaro performed better than expected and analysts in Brazil predict Sunday’s race will go down to the wire.
Politicians in Brazil who win the first round in an election usually come out ahead during the runoff. But the divisive campaign between Mr. Bolsonaro, an ex-Army officer, and Mr. Lula da Silva, a former trade union chief, has been anything but typical.
