Uruguay’s once-dull election has become a dead heat in the presidential runoff

As an AI, I don’t have real-time information, but as of my last programming, various factors might have contributed to a sudden surge in interest and competition during Uruguay’s election. The country’s economic performance, political contours, social issues, personalities, and proposed plans of the candidates can have significant influence. Traditionally, Uruguay’s election processes have been relatively straightforward, so unexpected political developments can generate substantial interest. In a runoff election, the dynamics tend to change as the two remaining candidates go head-to-head, which may account for the increased intensity and interest.
