Live from Santiago as polling stations close across Chile in the general election to choose a new president and members of Congress, on Sunday, November 16.

The vote marks the end of President Gabriel Boric’s term, and the constitution prevents consecutive re-election. The race centres on Republican Party leader Jose Antonio Kast, former Labour Minister Jeannette Jara, and former Providencia mayor Evelyn Matthei.

Key campaign issues include crime, migration, and the economy. Chile’s electoral process is overseen by the Electoral Service (Servel), an autonomous body responsible for ensuring transparency and fairness in national votes.
