# 2008 Brazilian municipal elections

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.
