General elections in Chile were held on Sunday November 19, 2017, including presidential, parliamentary and regional elections.
Voters went to the polls to elect:
The President of Chile, officially known as the President of the Republic of Chile is the head of state and the head of government of Chile. The President is responsible for both the Chilean government and state administration. Although its role and significance has changed over the history of Chile, as well as its position and relations with other actors in the national political organization, it is one of the most prominent political figures. It is also considered as one of the institutions that make up the "Historic Constitution of Chile", and is essential to the country's political stability.
The Senate of the Republic of Chile is the upper house of Chile's bicameral National Congress, as established in the current Constitution of Chile.
The National Congress of Chile is the legislative branch of the government of the Republic of Chile.
In the presidential election, opposition candidate and former president Sebastián Piñera took a lower than expected 36% of the vote—though nearly 14 points ahead of his closest contender, senator Alejandro Guillier, backed by the sitting administration. In the runoff election, held on December 17, 2017, Piñera beat the lawmaker with a surprising 54% of the vote, with turnout two points higher than in the first round.
Miguel Juan Sebastián Piñera Echenique is the 36th and current President of Chile, following his election in December 2017. He also served as the 34th President from 2010 to 2014.
Alejandro René Eleodoro Guillier Álvarez is a Chilean sociologist, television and radio journalist, and independent politician. He is a Senator of the 2nd District of Antofagasta and was the 2017 Presidential candidate of the New Majority.
In the parliamentary elections, the Chile Vamos coalition (supporter of Piñera's candidacy) won 46% of the Chamber of Deputies and 44% of the Senate, while the governing New Majority alliance, competing without the Christian Democrats for the first time in 28 years, lost its majority in both chambers, taking just 28% and 35% in the lower and upper chambers, respectively. The fledgling leftist bloc Broad Front won 20 deputies (13%) and gained one senator. The Christian Democratic Party took 9% of the lower chamber and secured 14% of the Senate.
Chile Vamos is a Chilean political coalition of four centre-right and right-wing parties. The coalition was created on 29 January 2015 by the general secretaries of the Independent Democrat Union, National Renewal, Independent Regionalist Party and Political Evolution.
The New Majority was a Chilean centre-left electoral coalition from 2013 to 2018, composed mainly of centre-left political parties supporting the presidential candidacy of Michelle Bachelet in the 2013 election.
The Broad Front is a Chilean political coalition founded in early 2017, composed of left-wing, and some centre-left and far-left parties and movements. Its first electoral contest was the 2017 Chilean general election, where their presidential candidate Beatriz Sánchez came third with 20% of the vote in the first round of election. The Broad Front also expanded their electoral representation to 20 deputies, 1 senator and 21 out of 278 Regional Councillors, thus consolidating the movement as the 'third force' in Chilean politics.
Following an election reform in 2015, the Chamber of Deputies grew in size to 155 members from the previous 120, while the Senate increased its membership from 38 to 43 after this election, and will grow to 50 following the election in 2021. [1] Multi-seat constituencies were reestablished, replacing the previous binomial system of two-seat per district, installed by the outgoing Pinochet dictatorship in 1989 in order to secure a conservative minority block [2] [3] with an Open list proportional representation system. Also, for the first time, a 40% gender quota was put in place for candidates of each political party in parliamentary elections. [4]
The binomial system is a voting system that was used in the parliamentary elections of Chile between 1989 and 2013. From a voting system point of view, it is a multiple-winner method of proportional representation with open lists, where winning candidates are chosen through the D'Hondt method. Its particularity comes from the fact that only two candidates are elected in each district, resulting in an over-representation of the second majority list. Its use was prescribed in the respective constitutional organic law during the Pinochet regime.
Party-list proportional representation systems are a family of voting systems emphasizing proportional representation (PR) in elections in which multiple candidates are elected through allocations to an electoral list. They can also be used as part of mixed additional member systems.
All the newly elected authorities began their terms on March 11, 2018.
This was the first non-primary election in which Chileans voted from abroad. [5]
According to the Constitution, primaries are voluntary, but its results are binding. [6] Two political coalitions decided to participate: Former president Sebastián Piñera won the Chile Vamos primary with 58% of the vote, while radio and television journalist Beatriz Sánchez became the Broad Front (Frente Amplio) nominee with nearly 68%. [7]
Beatriz de Jesús Sánchez Muñoz is a Chilean journalist and politician. She has worked in radio and television since the 1990s.
These candidates officially registered their candidacies before the national election authority (Servel), either directly, or via a primary election victory. All candidacies were accepted (met legal requirements) by the Servel on September 1, 2017 [8] and were officially registered on September 12, 2017, after no legal challenges were raised. [9]

[20] On May 7, 2017, the Communist Party proclaimed him as their candidate. [21] On May 13, 2017 the Party for Democracy unanimously proclaimed him as their candidate in a show of hands. [22] As the New Majority coalition failed to organize a primary and Guillier decided to stay as an independent, he was forced to collect thousands of signatures in order to compete.

On July 8, 2017, Amplitude —a party that is not member of Chile Vamos— proclaimed him as its candidate.

The first round of the Chilean presidential election of 2009–2010 was held on Sunday December 13, 2009.

The presidential primaries of the Concertation of Parties for Democracy of the year 2005 was the electoral system to define the presidential candidate of such Chilean coalition for the presidential election of 2005. It confronted Michelle Bachelet Jeria, candidate by the Socialist Party (PS), the Party for Democracy (PPD), and the Radical Social Democratic Party (PRSD), and Soledad Alvear Valenzuela, candidate for the Christian Democratic Party of Chile (PDC). However, the process remained unfinished after Alvear retired from competition months before the completion of the primary.

On that same date, the conglomerate also planned to hold its parliamentary primaries in districts and/or districts where appropriate; However, on 1 May it was decided that such primaries would not be carried out at the official level.
The party País was a leftist political party in Chile founded by Alejandro Navarro, a Senator formerly a member of the MAS Region party, supporting his candidacy for President in 2017.
The presidential primaries of the Alliance of 2013 were the method of election of the presidential candidate of such Chilean center-right coalition, for the presidential election of 2013. On that same date the conglomerate would also realize its parliamentary primaries in the districts but the UDI decided not to participate in them, being reduced to the candidates of National Renewal (RN).
The Chilean presidential primaries of 2017 were held in Chile on Sunday 2 July 2017. It was the first election in the country's history in which Chileans were permitted to vote from abroad.
