October 3 was Brazilian elections for president, governors, federal senators, and state and federal representatives. Brazil has many political parties. Many people work for the campaign passing out little cards witht the picture of the candidate with their number. They also stand along the streets waving flags of their candidate. Each candidate has a number. The television gives and hour of free propaganda for the candidates at noon and again in the evening every day. Some candidates only receive 30 seconds, but the presidential candidates get 10 miniutes each.
On election day, a person votes on an electronic machine by pressing the buttons of the number of their candidate. By computer the votes are tallied instantly. If a candidate for presidente and governor doesn't win over 5o per cent of the vote a second election is held for the the top two candidates. The run off election for president and some governors was October 31 and the first women president in Brasil was elected, Dilma Jouseff.
