Flávio Takes Japan, Lula Berlin in Brazil Vote Abroad
What happened
Brazilians abroad voted on Sunday, with Flávio Bolsonaro winning Japan with 71.7% of valid votes and Lula da Silva leading in Berlin and Porto. According to Revista Fórum, Lula da Silva gained ground in 15 of 23 locations compared to the 2022 first-round results, while Flávio Bolsonaro roughly held his father's share. A tally of 661 ballot boxes had Lula at 53.1% and Flávio at 37.2% as of 3:50 p.m. Brasília.
Why it matters
The overseas vote is a small, self-selected slice of the electorate, representing about 0.6% of the national electorate, and turnout is low and varies sharply by country. The results are not a forecast for the national result. The official count began at 4 p.m. ET.
