General elections are scheduled to take place in Brazil on October 4, 2026. If no candidate wins outright in the first round, the top two candidates proceed to a runoff. This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed candidate advances to Brazil's presidential runoff election or otherwise wins outright in the first round. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the president is decided in the first round of the election but the listed candidate is not the winner or the result of this election isn't known definitively 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/).Incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva leads first-round polling for Brazil’s October 4, 2026, presidential vote, followed by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro as the main opposition contender. Jair Bolsonaro’s ineligibility has consolidated right-wing support behind his son, while Lula benefits from incumbency, recent debt-relief expansions, and fuel subsidies. Other candidates including Ronaldo Caiado, Romeu Zema, and Renan Santos poll in the low single digits and show limited path to the runoff. Mid-2026 controversies around Flávio Bolsonaro temporarily dented his numbers but appear contained after family reconciliation. With the first round seven weeks away and official campaign advertising beginning shortly, trader sentiment centers on whether Lula secures an outright majority or faces Flávio Bolsonaro in the October 25 runoff.
