Elections in Brazil. Polls will close two hours later than expected
The Brazilian electoral authorities have decided to extend voting hours by two hours due to adverse weather conditions affecting transportation. Both Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro's campaigns requested this extension, citing heavy rains and transport issues. Lula emphasized the importance of ensuring all voters can participate, criticizing attempts to hinder voting. The electoral justice has mandated local authorities to ensure full bus service in affected areas. In Salvador, a transport secretary was arrested for reducing bus availability on election day. The TSE acknowledged transport difficulties but did not confirm if voting hours would be extended.
