1988 Chilean plebiscite

The 1988 Chilean plebiscite was a national vote held to decide whether dictator Augusto Pinochet should extend his rule for another eight years. Chileans were asked to choose "Yes" to continue Pinochet's leadership or "No" to end it and return to democratic governance. The "No" campaign, advocating for democracy, successfully convinced many voters, resulting in Pinochet's exit from power. This plebiscite marked a pivotal step towards restoring democracy in Chile after years of authoritarian rule.
