Lula Leading Abroad as Partial Counts Show Strong European Support

Overview

• Partial vote reports published Sunday and aggregated by G1 and Valor show Lula winning the Europe subtotal with about 59.7% of votes in the sections counted so far.
• In the United Kingdom, consolidated polling‑site bulletins posted at voting locations gave Lula 10,968 votes (63.34%) and Flávio Bolsonaro 6,349 votes (36.66%).
• With roughly 62.4% of exterior sections counted, Valor reported Lula leading overall among voters abroad at about 58.56% versus 41.44% for Flávio Bolsonaro, but that tally does not yet include U.S. ballots.
• Abstention among Brazilians voting abroad fell to about 55.89% in the second round, down from 62.69% in the first round, increasing the number of valid votes that shape the partial totals.
• Brazilian expatriate voting covers only the presidential race and is organized by the TSE across 186 cities in more than 100 countries, so the remaining U.S. returns, which represent about 30% of the overseas electorate, could materially change the final exterior margin when the court finishes consolidating results.
