Chilean presidential elections

Chilean presidential elections determine the country’s leader for a four-year term through a democratic process. Citizens aged 18 and older vote in a straightforward, direct election. If a candidate secures more than 50% of the votes, they become president. If no one achieves this majority, a runoff election is held between the top two candidates. The president’s role includes setting policies, representing Chile internationally, and managing government functions. Elections are organized by the National Electoral Service, ensuring transparency and fairness, and are crucial for shaping the country’s political direction.
