Regarding the intention to vote, the Data Influye survey showed that 86% of those surveyed will vote “with complete certainty”, despite the fact that Chile stands out for not exceeding 50% of participation since voluntary voting was established in 2012 .

Seven candidates for the Presidency will participate in the elections to replace the current president, the conservative Sebastián Piñera. The elections summon 15 million Chileans. The Congress and the 16 regional councils will also be renewed.
