General elections were held on 2 October 2022 in Brazil to elect the President, Vice President, and the National Congress. Elections for state Governors and Vice Governors, State Legislative Assemblies, the Federal District Legislative Chamber, and the District Council of Fernando de Noronha were held at the same time. There were more than 156 million registered voters in Brazil for this election, making the country the second largest democracy in the Americas and one of the largest in the world. Incumbent president Jair Bolsonaro, elected in 2018, was a candidate for re-election to a second term. Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, elected in 2002 and reelected in 2006, was a candidate for election to a third term. Bolsonaro made several allegations of election fraud, including prior to the election. Many observers denounced these allegations as false and expressed concerns that they could be used to challenge the outcome of the election or to execute a self-coup. Some commentators have also noted the importance of this election for the Amazon rainforest, as well as climate change.
