Naiara Boroni, Nikolas Domingues and Jodersson Diego live in the same city and do not know one another, but said they had done the same thing in recent days: persuaded at least one person who had not voted for the leftist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in the first round to choose him in this Sunday’s runoff.
In Boroni’s case, it was her grandmother who had not turned out; in Domingues’s, a cousin who had chosen a candidate who finished fourth. But Diego achieved what to many sounds almost impossible in such a polarised country: he said he had persuaded a woman who voted for the far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro to switch sides.
