Municipal elections were held in Brazil on October 5 and October 26, 2008.[1] Over 130 million voters chose mayors and city councillors for the 5,565 municipalities of Brazil.[2]

Brazilian law allowed candidates to run under ballot names different from their legal names. At least six candidates chose the ballot name "Barack Obama" [3] and some entrepreneurs used ballot names that make reference to their business.[4]
