Municipal elections were held in
Brazil on October 5 and October 26, 2008. Over 130 million voters chose
mayors and
city councillors for the 5,565
municipalities of Brazil.
Brazilian law allowed candidates to run under ballot names different from their
legal names. At least six candidates chose the ballot name "
Barack Obama" and some
entrepreneurs used ballot names that make reference to their business.
