Briefings
A evidence indicates that abstention rates have decreased in most countries by the end of the voting period, potentially affecting Brazil. The data comes from a 2026 article reporting that voter turnout increased in 20 countries across different time zones compared to the first round, with Portugal expected to follow a similar trend.
Key points
- Voter turnout increased in 20 countries across different time zones compared to the first round by the end of the voting period in 2026.
- Portugal is expected to see a similar increase in voter turnout compared to the first round.
Context
This finding suggests a shift in voting behavior where more people are participating in elections, which could influence electoral outcomes and political dynamics in countries with similar voting patterns.
