3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Flavio Bolsonaro win the most votes in the second round of the Brazil presidential election from abroad? — resolved “No” on 26 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Flavio Bolsonaro receives more valid votes than any other candidate from voters outside Brazil in the October 25, 2026 election. The outcome depends solely on the official vote counts reported by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). Readers often mistake the first-round results for the final count or ignore the specific requirement that only votes cast abroad are considered.
  • Will Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva win the second round of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election by 2–4%? — resolved “Yes” on 26 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins the second round of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election by a margin of exactly 2% to 4%. It resolves to No if his victory margin falls outside that range or if another candidate wins.
  • At least 125,000,000 — resolved “Yes” on 26 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if at least 125 million votes are cast in the second round of the 2026 Brazilian presidential election, including blank and null votes. The outcome is No if fewer than 125 million votes are cast. Readers often mistake the deadline for the first round or overlook that blank and null votes count toward the total.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
