00:00Brazil enters its final countdown to Sunday's general elections under strict media restrictions and heightened security.
00:05For details on the ground from Sao Paulo, we go to our correspondent Brian Mir.
00:10With Brazil's presidential elections only two days away, a new set of campaign restrictions has been imposed today
00:17in accordance with Brazil's national electoral laws guided by the electoral court system.
00:24Yesterday was the final day of the campaign season in which candidates could air television commercials.
00:30And it was also the last day that televised debates were allowed, with Globo, the largest TV network in Brazil,
00:37canceling its debate after both Lula and Flavio Bolsonaro said they weren't going to show up to it.
00:42So today is the final day that candidates can run advertisements in newspapers and in print media
00:48or reproduce any of those advertisements on the Internet.
00:52Another thing that's happening today is that the army has deployed troops so that every voting station
00:59has a few army officials within 100 meters of it from this point on until the end of the elections
01:05on Sunday.
01:06So on Sunday, there's 158 million registered voters in Brazil.
01:11They're coming out to the polls to choose their next president, governors, senators, federal congressmen and state congressmen.
01:18And in the case of the gubernatorial and the presidential elections, if no candidate can get over 50% of
01:25the vote,
01:25there'll be a runoff election scheduled for October 28th.
01:29Now, both Flavio Bolsonaro and Luis Inácio Lula da Silva say they believe they're capable of winning the election in
01:37the first round.
01:37But we're going to find out for sure this Sunday.
01:40And I'll be on the ground covering and for tell us, sir.
01:46Women are the majority of the population of the Brazilian.
