Brazil heads to runoff as Bolsonaro and Lula fall short

Original: Brazil heads to a runoff election after Bolsonaro and Lula fail to garner a majority of votes

No candidate won a majority in Brazil's presidential election, sending the contest to a second-round runoff between incumbent Jair Bolsonaro and former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The result came despite pre-election polls that had pointed to a possible first-round victory for Lula, and attention now turns to which side can rally remaining voters.

Why now: The world's fourth-largest democracy will decide its next president in a decisive second round, with major implications for the country's political direction.
