Brazil court orders transport for Indigenous voters before runoff
A Brazilian court ordered the government to provide transport for Indigenous voters in Sunday's presidential runoff between President Lula da Silva and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. The two candidates agreed to lift secrecy on their bank, tax and phone records, pending a decision by Judge André Mendonça, as polls show a statistical tie. Both campaigns are targeting about 33 million people who did not vote in the first round, while the electoral court handles a wave of deepfakes.
Why it matters
The result will shape policy in Latin America's largest economy, including on the Amazon.
Background
Lula, a leftist, is seeking reelection against Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro. The first round was held on October 4.
