SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Brazil at a Crossroads: Discussing the 2026 Elections
DESCRIPTION:On October 4\, 2026\, Brazil\, Latin America’s largest democracy\, will hold presidential elections. Voters will also elect members of the National Congress\, governors and vice governors\, and more than 1\,000 state legislators. The elections come at a consequential moment for Brazil\, amid concerns about corruption and inflation\, disputes over tariffs and trade\, and growing tensions with the Trump administration.\n\nThe Latin American Elections Hub (LATAM-EH) brings together a group of experts to discuss the stakes of the election for Brazil and its broader regional and international implications.

The event chair is Pedro Luz de Castro of the University of Michigan. Edgar Franco-Vivanco\, Director of the Latin American Elections Hub\, is the discussant.\n\nThis event will be hybrid.
