Presidential and legislative elections took place on 3 October in Brazil. The results of the Presidential election gave 46.9% of the vote to Workers' Party (PT) candidate Dilma Rousseff, 32.6% to José Serra of the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PDSB), and 19.3% to Marina Silva of the Green Party (PV). As no candidate achieved more than 50% of the votes cast, a second round in the Presidential election will be held on Sunday 31 October, in a runoff between Ms Rousseff and Mr Serra.
