Brazilians on Sunday choose between a future of conservative values under a far-right leader or the hope of returning to a prosperous past presided over by a leftist. In this fiercely polarized country, many are simply voting against the candidate they despise.
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva points to his track record improving Brazilians' livelihoods while president from 2003 to 2010, and pledges to care for them again. Opposing da Silva is President Jair Bolsonaro, who appeals to religious conservatives and claims da Silva's return to power would usher in communism, legalized drugs and abortion.
The candidates will square off in their final debate on Friday, less than 36 hours before polls open.
For months, it appeared that da Silva, universally known as Lula, was headed for an easy victory. Some opinion polls had da Silva ahead by double digits; Bolsonaro finished within about five points, showing the difficulty of handicapping a race in a sprawling nation like Brazil. But analysts and politicians agree that the race has grown tight.
