Brazil election: Voters choose between Lula and Bolsonaro's son

Brazilian voters are casting ballots in a closely fought run-off between 80-year-old incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and 45-year-old right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro, who led the first round on 4 October, has promised a crackdown on organised crime and cuts to taxes and public spending; he has also pledged to free his father, Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup.
