Polls officially close after Brazilian â supreme court ordered the extension Sunday as FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro and Luiz InĂĄcio Lula da Silva await results
The local electoral court ordered the immediate restoration of 100% of the bus fleet and ordered the arrest of the municipal transport secretary, Pablo Souza, on suspicion of an electoral offence and disobeying court orders. The arrest warrant could not be carried out, however, because he is in Paris on what the city government described as an âofficial missionâ, and is not expected to return to Brazil until Monday.
Late in the afternoon, FlĂĄvio Bolsonaro also filed requests for voting to be extended by two hours in cities in the states of SĂŁo Paulo, ParanĂĄ and Santa Catarina, but because of heavy rain that he said had prevented voters from turning out.
