Fact Check Performed On October 5, 2026
The October 4, 2026 election with about 125 million ballots was Brazil’s presidential first round, not India’s. India’s president is chosen by an electoral college of parliament and state legislatures; Droupadi Murmu was elected that way in 2022, and no popular presidential vote was held in India that day.
