Voters went to the polls to elect:

President of Chile head of state and head of government of Chile

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.

Senate of Chile

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.

National Congress of Chile legislative branch of the government of the Republic 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.

Sebastián Piñera 35th & 37th President of Chile

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 Guillier Chilean journalist and politician

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 Chilean political coalition

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.

New Majority (Chile) Chilean political coalition with parties ranging fom center-left to left

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.

Broad Front (Chile) Chilean political coalition

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 family of voting systems

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]

Presidential primaries

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 Sánchez (journalist) Chilean politician and journalist

Beatriz de Jesús Sánchez Muñoz is a Chilean journalist and politician. She has worked in radio and television since the 1990s.

[23] On August 4, 2017 he officially registered his candidacy before the Servel, presenting 61,403 signatures, more than the 33 thousand needed to register an independent candidacy. [24] [25] [26]
