The New York Times reported that polling places in Brazil were kept open an extra two hours as the presidential race reached its final stage. The account in this story draws on the outlet's live coverage of the polls closing, which was the only source reviewed for this report.

According to The New York Times, the leftist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, accused officials in some areas of slowing transit. The summary of the coverage does not name those areas, identify the officials, or state how the transit was affected.

The New York Times also reported that Flávio Bolsonaro, described in the coverage as a Trump ally, said flooding was hampering his voters. The summary does not say where the flooding occurred, how many voters were affected, or whether officials responded to his statement.

The report presents both sets of complaints as the views of the people who made them, without stating whether they are related to each other or to the decision to keep polling places open longer. Neither the report nor its summary states how many polling places remained open past their scheduled closing time, or when the extension was announced.

The race is between the two men named in the coverage, with Lula as the sitting president and Bolsonaro as his opponent, according to the same report. No further details were available in the material reviewed for this account, and the claims described above have not been independently confirmed in this report.
