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, including Ideia (April 3-7) showing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at 40.4% and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro at 37%, alongside Paraná Pesquisas (late March) with Lula at 41.3%, underscore trader consensus for an 88.5% implied probability of no outright first-round win on October 4, 2026. No candidate approaches the 50%+1 valid vote threshold required to avoid a runoff, with a fragmented field including Ronaldo Caiado (3-4%) and Augusto Cury (6.5%) splitting the right-wing vote. Lula's lead has narrowed amid Flávio Bolsonaro's gains, but historical patterns—no first-round victor since 2002—reinforce expectations of a competitive multi-candidate race heading to a second round.
