Brazilian president Luiz Incio da Silva looked likely to win a second term in office last night, after South America's largest democracy went to the polls. Voters use a voting machine as straightforward as a public phone booth and the results are then filed electronically to polling centers. Brazilians also are electing all 513 deputies in the House and all of their state governors and the results are available by the end of election day. (AustralFoto/Douglas Engle)
