Brazil is gearing up for the country’s most polarized presidential race in decades on Sunday.

The candidates are in the final day of campaigns, with front-runner Jair Bolsonaro and his closest rival Fernando Haddad making last-minute efforts to woo the voters.

Support for far-right former army captain Bolsonaro has surged on widespread anger over rising crime and a drifting economy. Haddad's support relies on the popularity of his mentor, former president Lula da Silva, who was barred from running due to a corruption conviction.

Final opinion polls on Saturday will show whether Bolsonaro has enough support to win the election outright. If no candidate gets a majority, the race will go to a run-off between the two top candidates on October 28.
