Brazil's Overseas Vote Splits: Lula Leads in China, Bolsonaro Strong in Israel, Japan

Polls closed 4 October in Brazil's first-round presidential vote. Early counts from Brazilians abroad show Lula at 56.63% in China against Bolsonaro's 31.33%, while Flávio Bolsonaro reached 74.40% in Israel and 71.59% in Japan. These overseas — or diaspora — results are partial and don't decide the national outcome; the official electronic count is due within hours.
