Polling stations closed at 5:00 p.m. (8:00 p.m. GMT) in Brazil on Sunday, where 156 million voters were called upon to decide between left-wing ex-president Lula, presidential favorite, and outgoing head of state, Jair Bolsonaro.
The result of the most polarized election in the huge country's modern history, but which apparently took place without violence, should be known in the next two or three hours.
