Brazil: 47% of socially isolated voters abstain, Datafolha survey finds

A Datafolha/Avaaz survey (Nov 11-21, 2025) finds 47% of Brazilians lacking community ties do not vote, linking loneliness and screen time to electoral abstention. The claim is based on survey data, but causal inference is uncertain. This suggests a structural challenge to democratic participation in Brazil, potentially affecting future election outcomes.
