Chilean national plebiscite

The Chilean national plebiscite refers to a public vote in which Chileans decided on key issues affecting their country, notably the approval or rejection of a new constitution. This process emerged from social protests in 2019, which called for reforms in response to inequality and governance concerns. In October 2020, voters overwhelmingly chose to draft a new constitution, leading to a constituent assembly tasked with creating a document that reflects the people's needs. The plebiscite serves as an important democratic tool, allowing citizens to directly influence significant political changes in their nation.
