BRASILIA—Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro plans to appeal to the Supreme Court over a national electoral authority ruling that rejected his campaign’s complaint about radio station ads, three days before a runoff election vote on Sunday.

“We will take this to the last consequences, within the limits of the Constitution, to uphold the findings of our audit,” the conservative president told reporters late on Wednesday.
