Brazilian Presidential Elections Results
Abstract
On the 30th of October 2022, Brazilian citizens typed the electronic ballots to choose the president for the next four years‘ term in the runoff between Jair Bolsonaro and Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. The very close results mirrored the radical polarization that has been haunting the country for at least the last ten years. Lula received 50.9% of the valid votes, whereas Bolsonaro was chosen by 49.1% of the electors. At the time of this writing, Bolsonaro has not conceded.
