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 polls from late April, including AtlasIntel (22–27 April) and Nexus (24–26 April), show President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva leading first-round voting intentions at 41–47%, with Senator Flávio Bolsonaro trailing closely at 36–40%, while other candidates like Ronaldo Caiado and Romeu Zema poll under 6%—far short of the 50%+ valid votes required for an outright win ahead of the 4 October 2026 first round. This fragmented field, consistent across Quaest and MDA surveys earlier in the month, reflects right-wing consolidation behind Bolsonaro while Lula holds incumbency advantages, yet trader consensus at 89% "No" anticipates a runoff on 25 October, aligning with every Brazilian presidential election since 2002 requiring a second round. No recent developments suggest a surge toward majority support.
