Nearly 15 million people are called to elect between two opposing models, represented by Congressman Gabriel Boric, of the left-wing “Apruebo Dignidad” (I Approve Dignity) coalition, and Jose Antonio Kast, proposed by the far-right Frente Social Cristiano (Social Christian Front) alliance.
Polling stations opened at 08:00 hours, local time, and will remain open until 18:00 hours, local time, unless there are voters in or outside the premises waiting to cast their votes at that time.
A total of 46,888 polling stations opened in the country’s different regions, in addition to 249 polling stations set up for Chilean residents abroad, where voting took place on Saturday.
