Is the word eleições the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "eleições" is identical in spelling, meaning, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more open and the nasal diphthong "õe" is pronounced with a more melodic and distinct resonance. In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more "closed" or reduced, and the rhythm of the word is more clipped, as unstressed syllables are often neutralized or shortened.
