Chilean Senate

The Chilean Senate is the upper house of Chile's National Congress, responsible for reviewing and passing legislation, approving budgets, and overseeing the executive branch. It consists of Senators elected through a mixed system of proportional representation and regional quotas, representing the diverse regions of the country. Senators serve fixed terms and play a key role in shaping national policies, laws, and constitutional matters. The Senate works alongside the lower house (Chamber of Deputies) to ensure balanced governance, debate issues, and scrutinize government actions, thereby supporting Chile’s democratic governance and legislative process.
