Brazil extends voting by two hours in three states

Original: 🟠 UPDATE Brazil Presidential Run-Off Election Voting was extended by two hours in São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina

Voting in Brazil's presidential run-off election was extended by two hours in São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa Catarina because of heavy rain disrupting transport. The Supreme Court ordered the full restoration of the bus fleet, and a transport secretary, Pablo Souza, was ordered arrested for defying the ruling. Observers are watching closely as turnout in these states could be decisive in the tight contest between the candidates.

Why now: Heavy rain disrupted transport on election day, prompting a court-ordered voting extension in a tightly contested presidential run-off.
