"We have a responsibility to show what we can do… We don’t want to give away our legacy. We must change the fate of new generations," he told his supporters.
Jair Bolsonaro also said Monday that a lot of voters complained about voting machines. “There were a lot of complaints,” he said in an address posted on his Facebook page.
Elderly voters, he added, were often discouraged from voting by long waiting lines, including in Rio de Janeiro.
Meanwhile, Bolsonaro's opponent Fernando Haddad warned Monday that the nation's democracy was in danger after an inconclusive Sunday vote.
"The results of the first round present a challenge, in that they expose the risks faced by democracy in Brazil," he told supporters in a televised address.

Both candidates fell short of the 50 percent needed to win the election and will face off on October 28. Haddad said the second round was an opportunity to unite Brazil's democrats.
