Voting abroad: who won in China in the 2nd round of the 2026 elections?

Lula received 502 votes (65.28%), while Flávio had 267 votes (34.72%), according to ballots released by the TSE so far.

Both candidates increased their votes compared to the first round. At the time, Lula received 367 votes, against 203 for Flávio Bolsonaro.

The result maintains the PT's advantage registered in the country in 2022. That year, Lula beat Jair Bolsonaro in the second round in China, with 279 votes (53.65%), against 241 (46.35%) for the then president.

In total, almost 1 million Brazilians living abroad are eligible to vote in this second round. Voting takes place in 186 cities in more than one hundred countries.

Throughout this Sunday, g1 will carry out a survey of the ballots released by the TSE in different parts of the world, to anticipate the counting numbers abroad.

The consolidated result of the election, however, will only be released by the TSE after 5pm (Brasília time), when voting ends in Brazil.

The number represents an increase of 31.8% compared to 2022, and the largest contingent since 1989. However, the turnout percentage is lower than that recorded in the two previous presidential elections.

In 2022, 301,509 voters voted abroad in the first round, equivalent to 43.83% of those eligible. That year, Lula was also the candidate most voted by Brazilians abroad, with 47.17% of the votes.

Brazilians with electoral domicile abroad vote only for president and vice-president of the Republic. To participate in the election outside the country, you must have previously transferred your electoral domicile to an electoral zone abroad.
