A Vox Brasil poll shows Senator Flávio Bolsonaro numerically ahead of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in voting intentions for the 2026 presidential race, according to JOTA Jornalismo. The finding is drawing attention because it suggests a strong electoral position for the Bolsonaro family despite Lula's incumbency, fueling debate about the shape of the next presidential contest in Brazil.

Searches for 'local de votação' (voting location) are rising in Brazil as election coverage ramps up. Outlets like JOTA are already publishing candidate lists, including the race for state deputy in Paraíba for the 2026 elections, and voters appear to be checking where and how they will cast their ballots.

A rundown of everyone running for state deputy in Pernambuco in the 2026 elections is circulating among Brazilian readers. JOTA Jornalismo compiled the full list of candidates, and people in Brazil are searching for who is on the ballot, a sign of early interest in the state legislative races ahead of next year's vote.

Justice Gilmar Mendes ruled that TV Globo must include Renan Santos in a presidential debate, making him the third minister to issue a decision on the broadcaster's debate format. The ruling, reported by JOTA, adds to an ongoing legal dispute over who qualifies to appear in televised presidential debates in Brazil.
