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 for Brazil's October 2026 presidential election show no candidate approaching the 50%+1 absolute majority needed for a first-round outright win, with President Lula da Silva leading at 30-35% and São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas trailing at 25-30% in surveys from Datafolha and Quaest over the past month. A fragmented field, including lower-polling contenders like Simone Tebet and potential Bolsonaro allies, ensures vote splitting, consistent with historical patterns where only one election since 1989 (1994) avoided a runoff on October 25. Lula's stagnant approval amid economic pressures and Tarcísio's rising profile as a conservative challenger have solidified trader consensus on a second round, reflected in the 84.5% implied probability for "No." Pre-candidacy maneuvering continues without major shifts.
