The 2026 Brazil presidential election is currently scheduled to be held on October 4, 2026. Political parties must file candidate registration applications with the Superior Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, TSE) for the 2026 Brazil presidential election by August 15, 2026, 7:00 PM Brasília time (UTC−03:00). This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT) files a candidate registration application nominating Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for President of Brazil by August 15, 2026, 7:00 PM Brasília time (UTC−03:00). Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A filing by a coalition (coligação) or party federation (federação partidária) that includes the PT and names Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as its presidential candidate will also qualify. This market will resolve based on the filing date (Data de Autuação) of an applicable Application for Registration of Candidacy (Requerimento de Registro de Candidatura, RRC). An Application for Registration of Individual Candidacy (Requerimento de Registro de Candidatura Individual, RRCI) will not qualify for resolution of this market. The primary resolution source will be official filings from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The Workers' Party (PT) leadership's repeated affirmations have solidified trader consensus at 81% for nominating President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva by the August 15 deadline, ahead of the October 4, 2026, presidential election. PT President Edinho Silva stated on April 10 that "it's clear Lula will be the candidate," while the party's April 24-26 congress approved a manifesto updating its strategy to secure his re-election, including appeals to centrists and prioritizing national over state races. Though Lula conditioned his run on fresh policy proposals with a decision slated post-June convention, polls showing him leading rivals like Tarcísio de Freitas reinforce PT's unified push, outweighing minor internal debates. Late developments like the Senate's Supreme Court nomination rejection have not shifted focus from this path.
