How is a leader selected in Brazil?

Answer 1

The leader of Brazil is the President of Brazil, currently Dilma Vana Rousseff. She was elected in early 2011. The President of Brazil is both the head of state and head of the government.

Answer 2

Brazil has a Presidential system, so the names of the roles of leadership follow that system.

The voting itself is compulsory (mandatory) to anyone over the age of 18. The ballots are electronic, and are taken to the remote regions by whatever means necessary (eg. boat, plane) in order for its residents to vote.

Each candidate receives a number (Dilma's, the current president, was 45). So during campaign time the ads say something like "Dilma 45". When you get to the polling station the machine shows you a list of names and what number represents them and you type in the number allocated to the candidate you want to vote for.

The ballots are then counted by the computer network and whoever had the most votes wins. There is no "vote numbers get then changed to fit population percentage" or whatever.
