Extension of voting hours in Brazil added only 34,300 votes

In Brazil's presidential elections, an extension of voting hours resulted in only 34,300 additional votes, representing 0.03% of the total. This extension was criticized by candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who claimed it favored his opponent, Lula da Silva, who won by 4.4 million votes. Bolsonaro announced intentions to contest the election results, arguing that the extension disrupted fairness. Despite these claims, officials from the Supreme Federal Court and the Electoral Court dismissed the challenges, affirming the election's validity. The TSE president communicated the results to both candidates after the election.
