Brazilians vote in key city polls
Voting is under way in the second round of Brazil's local elections, regarded as an important test for President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's Workers' Party.

Voters are choosing mayors and councillors across the country.

The Workers' Party won in many cities in the first round, but appears poised to lose a mayoral run-off in Sao Paulo.

Brazilian mayors are powerful figures, and the elections are seen as an indicator of who may succeed President Lula when he steps down in 2010.
