The new constitution is aimed at addressing deep-seated social inequality that gave rise to deadly protests in 2019.
Chileans are voting on Sunday in a second day of polls to elect 155 delegates to the Constituent Assembly, which will rewrite the country’s dictatorship-era constitution in a bid to address deep-seated social inequality that sparked deadly protests in 2019. About 14 million people are eligible to vote this weekend in what many consider to be Chile’s most important election since its return to democracy 31 years ago. More than three million people, or approximately 20.4 percent of the electorate, cast their ballot on Saturday, according to the country’s Electoral Service.
