Brazil Runoff 2026: Lula vs Flávio
Date, polls, debates, odds and how the runoff works, updated every day.
Brazil runoff polls · Polymarket and Kalshi odds · When results come
Prediction markets · who wins the runoff
Implied chance of winning Brazil’s presidency on 25 October, from traders’ prices.
Polymarket
Flávio Bolsonaro 76.8% · Lula 23.5% (US$184 million traded)
Kalshi (regulated in the US by the CFTC)
Flávio Bolsonaro 78% · Lula 23%
As of 15 October, 5:20 pm ET (22:20 Lisbon), updated every 20 minutes. Prices are bets, not polls, and can move fast.
Why we show this: prediction markets turn real-money bets into a live probability that moves within minutes of the news, which is why investors, campaigns and newsrooms in the United States now follow them closely. We show them next to polls and official results, never instead of them.
CURITIBA — This is the culture and events guide for expats, digital nomads and long-stay visitors, with things to do in Curitiba October 2026 from Friday 16 October to the end of the month. It lists events that appear in the city’s official events agenda, Agenda Curitiba, and the tourism office listing for the big Halloween concert.
The headline date is Saturday 31 October, when Bosnian-German DJ Solomun and Brazilian DJ Vintage Culture share the stage at the open-air Pedreira Paulo Leminski. Before that come a hip hop festival, a 1980s and 1990s launch show, rock and a free lecture series, mostly in Portuguese.
The agenda does not list ticket prices for most of these events, so this guide gives none. No amounts in Brazilian reais appear below, which means no US dollar conversion is needed.

Planning Your Curitiba in October
October is spring in Curitiba, and the weather can change quickly. A light waterproof layer and a jumper are sensible for most days.
Late-night returns are easier by ride-hailing app or taxi than by bus. Pedreira Paulo Leminski is outside the city centre, so arrange your journey home before the concert ends on 31 October.
Most listings in the city agenda give no price, so confirm tickets and start times with each organiser.
Most of these events are in Portuguese, and a few words of the language help at the door. For weekly updates, check Agenda Curitiba and the official Turismo Curitiba pages.
