Prosecutors received more than 2000 reports of companies illegally pressuring their employees to vote for one of the candidates, usually Bolsonaro. Federal highway police set up hundreds of roadblocks on election day itself in what appeared to be a political move. This was ignoring explicit orders from the head of the electoral court against such operations. It appears that a disproportionate number of these roadblocks were in the northeast, which is where Lula's support is highest and there are cries of voter suppression.
