巴西将于10月4日举行总统选举首轮投票1，现任左翼总统卢拉寻求第四个任期2，主要对手是极右翼参议员、前总统博索纳罗之子弗拉维奥·博索纳罗2。80岁的卢拉曾在2003年1月至2010年12月期间担任过总统1，而45岁的弗拉维奥·博索纳罗目前是参议员1。民调显示两人支持率均在40%左右，其他候选人支持率在4%及以下1。近1.6亿巴西人有资格参与投票1，其中约9%的选民仍未决定或计划弃票1。
若无人在首轮获得50%的有效票数，将进行10月25日的第二轮投票1。这次选举被认为具有高度的两极分化特征，将决定拉丁美洲最大国家以及整个地区的未来方向2。卢拉在2022年以1.8个百分点的票数差距击败了卸任总统贾伊尔·博索纳罗1，后者因策划发动政变而被判处27年监禁12。近期一起涉及银行家沃卡罗的金融欺诈丑闻将腐败推至选民最关切议题之首1，该丑闻中弗拉维奥·博索纳罗曾向沃卡罗索要1.34亿雷亚尔（2590万美元）1。
Brazil held its first round of presidential voting on October 4, with incumbent leftist President Lula competing against far-right Senator Flávio Bolsonaro for control of Latin America's largest nation.12 Polls showed both candidates drawing approximately 40 percent support among nearly 160 million eligible voters, with 9 percent undecided or planning to abstain or cast blank votes.1 If no candidate secured 50 percent of valid ballots, a runoff election was scheduled for October 25.1
Lula, 80 years old, sought his fourth non-consecutive term after previously serving as president from January 2003 through December 2010.12 Flávio Bolsonaro, 45 and currently a senator, emerged as the leading challenger.1 The race carried significant regional implications, as the election's outcome would shape the trajectory of Brazil and the wider Latin American region.2 Flávio Bolsonaro is the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison for allegedly plotting a coup following his 2022 electoral defeat to Lula, which occurred by a margin of 1.8 percentage points.12
Financial scandal intensified the campaign atmosphere, with a banking fraud case involving banker Vocaro bringing corruption to the forefront of voter concerns.1 The matter raised allegations against both Flávio Bolsonaro—who sought 134 million reais (approximately $25.9 million) from Vocaro—and Supreme Court Justice Moraes.1 These developments underscored the central role that corruption, along with crime and broader geopolitical factors, played in shaping voter decisions in this highly polarized election.134
