Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Brazil on October 4, 2026. A second round will be held if no candidate secures more than 50% of the valid votes in the first round. This market will resolve to "Yes" if any candidate wins this election in the first round. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the result of the first round of this election isn't known by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No". This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Brazilian government, specifically the Superior Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, TSE) (e.g., https://dadosabertos.tse.jus.br/).**Recent polling for Brazil’s October 4, 2026, presidential first round shows a fragmented field that makes an outright majority (over 50% of valid votes) highly unlikely.** Incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) leads with 38–41% support across late-August surveys from Datafolha, Nexus/BTG, PoderData, Indexa, and others, while Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) trails at 33–37%. Minor candidates including Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), Renan Santos (Missão), Romeu Zema (Novo), and others remain in the low single digits, splitting opposition votes. Combined support for the two frontrunners typically totals 72–78%, leaving substantial shares for undecided voters, null/blank ballots, and smaller contenders. This distribution aligns with Brazil’s multi-party system and unbroken pattern of runoffs in every presidential election since 2002. The official campaign opened August 16, with free electoral broadcasts beginning August 28 and the first debate held August 23; no recent consolidation or surge has pushed any candidate near the absolute-majority threshold. Second-round simulations remain tight (often statistical ties), reinforcing expectations of a runoff on October 25. Traders price the “No” outcome at 91% to reflect these persistent structural and polling realities.
