Brazil's Cardoso Has 50.5% Votes - Official, 11% Tallied

Dow Jones Newswires

BRASILIA -- With 11% of the vote in, Brazil's President Fernando
Henrique Cardoso has just over half of the votes in the presidential
election, giving him a first round win, the Electoral Court said Sunday.

Cardoso has 50.5% of the valid votes, below the 56% calculated in the
Ibope exit poll released after voting ended at 2000 GMT.

Analysts consider exit polls to be more representative than early results.

Runner-up Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of the leftist Workers' Party (PT) had
35.3% of the votes already tallied at 2305 GMT. Ibope's poll said Lula
had 29% of the votes.

An Electoral Court official told Dow Jones Newswires that no reliable
trend in the voting results is expected before midnight local time, or 0300
GMT Monday.

He said that voting was still taking place in some states because of
problems with the electronic voting system.
