Brazil is voting today in a runoff that will decide the country's next leader, with incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva facing right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro.
The election is a knife-edge contest between the two men. Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, scored a major upset in the first round earlier this month, taking the lead in the vote.
The campaign has been dominated by corruption scandals, economic difficulties and allegations of US interference, which Washington has denied.
