Following a highly contentious electoral season, and hours after Brazilians go to the polls, eyes now turn to what will be the direction of Brazil in the short and medium term.

Tune in the morning after the vote for a reaction to three key questions and more: What are the domestic, regional, and international implications of Sunday’s results?How will Congressional composition impact governability for the next administration? In what ways may US-Brazil relations remain the same or change in the coming years?
