General elections were held in Chile on 21 November 2021, including presidential, parliamentary and regional elections. A second round of the presidential election was held in Chile on 19 December.

Voters went to the polls in the first round to elect:

Following an electoral reform in 2015, the Senate increased its membership from 38 to 43 in 2017, and will grow to its full size of 50 seats following this election.[2] All the newly elected authorities will begin their terms on 11 March 2022.[3]

Seven candidates ran for the presidency. José Antonio Kast, a member of the Republican Party and the candidate of the Christian Social Front alliance, received the most votes in the first round. He faced Gabriel Boric, a member of the Social Convergence and the candidate of the Apruebo Dignidad coalition, in the second round on 19 December. It was the first time under the current constitution that neither of the second-round candidates came from either of the historically dominant coalitions.[4] Boric won the runoff, with Kast conceding defeat shortly after polls closed.[5][6]

The Senate saw a mixed result. The Chile Podemos Más coalition of outgoing president Sebastián Piñera won five more seats at the expense of the New Social Pact, becoming the largest coalition, with the Apruebo Dignidad winning four more seats and the Christian Social Front winning one. As a result, while Chile Podemos Más became the largest bloc, the gains by Apruebo Dignidad helped to split the total number of seats between the left and the right parties, with two independents holding the balance of power.[7]

The Chamber of Deputies saw a similarly split result. Both the Chile Podemos Más and New Social Pact coalitions lost several seats, with the new parties Party of the People and Christian Social Front winning seats at expense of Chile Podemos Más while Apruebo Dignidad saw a large swing of seats in their favor. As a result, Chile Podemos Más became the largest bloc, but the combined left coalitions and parties (Apruebo Dignidad, New Social Pact, Dignidad Ahora, and Green Ecologist Party) won 79 of the 155 seats to the 74 of the right-leaning Chile Podemos Más, Christian Social Front and Party of the People, one independent and one candidate for the centrist United Independents.

Electoral system

The President is elected using the two-round system; if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a second round will be held.[8]

In the National Congress, the 155 members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected from 28 multi-member constituencies with between three and eight seats by open list proportional representation. Seats are allocated by the d'Hondt method.[9] The 50 members of the Senate are elected for eight-year terms, with around half of the Senators renewed at each general election. Senators are elected from 16 multi-member constituencies of between two and five seats based on the regions. The 2021 elections will see 27 members elected, representing the regions of Antofagasta, Biobío, Coquimbo, O'Higgins, Los Lagos, Los Ríos, Magallanes and Santiago Metropolitan Region.[10]

Did not run

New Social Pact

New Social Pact
Yasna Provoste
(Christian Democratic Party)
Senator for Atacama
(since 2018)
President of the Senate
(2021)

The New Social Pact center-left coalition (formerly Constituent Unity) held a primary on 21 August 2021, which was won by Christian Democrat Senator Yasna Provoste by over 60% of the vote, with a turnout of around 150,000.[41] They failed to reach an agreement to participate in the national publicly-funded primaries on 18 July 2021.[42] Both Paula Narváez and Carlos Maldonado —the other primary candidates— had urged the need for a primary to define a sole coalition candidate.[43][44] Provoste said on 30 May 2021 that she is available to compete if her party deems it necessary.[45] On 23 July 2021 she officially launched her candidacy during a ceremony in her native city of Vallenar, in northern Chile.[46] She was proclaimed by the Christian Democratic Party as its candidate on 17 August 2021.[47]

Defeated in primary

  • Paula Narváez (PS): The former minister was proclaimed by the Socialist Party's Central Committee as its presidential candidate on 28 January 2021 in a unanimous vote.[51] Her candidacy emerged after a December 2020 Change.org petition made by female members of the PS asking Narváez to become the party's candidate was signed by former president Michelle Bachelet.[52] In January 2021 both senator José Miguel Insulza and PS president Álvaro Elizalde dropped out of the race.[53] On 5 June 2021 the PPD officially proclaimed her as its candidate.[54]

Dropped out

Christian Social Front

Christian Social Front
José Antonio Kast
(Chilean Republican Party)
Deputy for La Reina and Peñalolén
(2002–2018)

In May 2021, José Antonio Kast discarded the idea of making a presidential primary together with Chile Vamos.[62][63][64] Then, on August 6, 2021, the Christian Conservative Party together with the Republican Party and other independents registered with the Chilean Electoral Service the pact Christian Social Front for the parliamentary elections of November.[65][66] Kast officially registered his candidacy before the Electoral Service on 19 August 2021.[67][68]

Other candidates

  • Eduardo Artés (UP): The current president of the UP was confirmed by his party as its presidential candidate in June 2021.[69]
  • Marco Enríquez-Ominami (PRO): In February 2021, his party asked the three-time presidential candidate to be once again their contender for the November 2021 election.[70] On 23 July PRO's president, Camilo Lagos, said they would either participate in a primary or present a candidate directly to the November election. If their preferred choice, Enríquez-Ominami, is unable to run due legal restrictions, they would support senator Alejandro Guillier as their candidate.[71] On 26 July 2021 the PRO declared they would not participate in the Constituent Unity primary to take place on 21 August 2021.[72] On 4 September 2021 a regional electoral tribunal (TER) ordered his name to be removed from the electoral roll, thus disqualifying him from seeking office.[73] However, he appealed successfully to the Election Certification Board (Tricel).[74]
  • Franco Parisi (PDG): Parisi is an economist who ran for president in 2013, gaining 10% of the vote. He registered his candidacy for president on 23 August 2021.[75]

Rejected

  • Diego Ancalao (independent): Ancalao is a Mapuche activist. He was proclaimed on 20 August 2021 by the List of the People, a leftist movement, after he garnered more endorsements from independent electors at the Electoral Service's online platform than the other two candidates in competition, Soledad Mella and Ingrid Conejeros, between 12–19 August 2021.[76][77] The Electoral Service, though, rejected his candidacy on 26 August 2021 on the grounds he did not provide the required minimum number of endorsements from independent electors.[78]
  • Gino Lorenzini (independent): Lorenzini is an economist and entrepreneur. He registered his candidacy for president on 23 August 2021, presenting over 42 thousand endorsements from independent electors, more than the minimum required by law.[79] However, the Electoral Service rejected his candidacy on 26 August 2021 because the law requires independent candidates to hold their status as independent for up to a year before the election, and he was part of the Party of the People during some of that time.[78]

Declined to be candidates

  • Pamela Jiles (PH): Jiles is a journalist,[80] television personality and leftist politician. She pursues her political career as deputy for District 12 in the Santiago Metropolitan Region. She comes from a family of communists and has praised Fidel Castro.[81] She appeared as a potential presidential candidate with the most support in just one opinion poll.[34] After her partner lost the Santiago governor race in May 2021, she withdrew her name from consideration.[82]
  • Izkia Siches (independent): Siches is a physician who has served as president of the Chilean Medical College since 2017.[83] A self-described feminist[84] and past member of the Communist Youth,[85] Siches became nationally known during the COVID-19 pandemic for her criticisms of the government's handling of public health measures.[86] Her high approval ratings during the pandemic[87] led to speculation she would run for president, but she ultimately declined.[88][83]

Controversy

Allegations of voter suppression by Piñera government

On the day of the second round on 19 December, voters at bus stops in rural parts of the country, and large municipalities in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, such as Puente Alto, San Bernardo, and Maipú, waited hours in the blazing sun to reach their polling stations, with a shortage of buses available to ferry voters to voting stations.

Soon after these reports came in, local authorities and citizens in these municipalities took to social media to show Red Metropolitana de Movilidad bus terminals and parking decks full of unused city buses. This led to speculation that the government was suppressing voters, as most complaints came from neighborhoods where Gabriel Boric was polling well.

Leading figures from Gabriel Boric’s campaign, such as Izkia Siches cried foul, accusing the government of trying to help Kast win and Boric himself said “the government has a responsibility” to solve the problem to allow voters to be ferried to vote with the unused buses. The elections authority Servel expressed similar concerns. [111]

The government spokesman Jaime Bellolio called the Boric campaign’s claim as a “blatant lie”, and denied that the government was suppressing voters, claiming that there were between 5,000 and 6,000 buses running in the Metropolitan Region. This was contradicted by transport authorities, which stated that only 3,000 buses were operating. However, the transport authority also stated that the number was 55 percent more than a usual Sunday and between 3 percent or 4 percent greater than on the first round of election.[112]

A bus driver claimed that only 40 percent of the bus drivers available were driving that day, despite statements from the government that they were operating buses on a normal work schedule. As a result, carpools were organised through social media, while private services like Uber and Cabify offered discounts for voters to travel to polling stations. [113]

In the evening, just before polls closed, Transport Minister Gloria Hutt apologised, acknowledging the government was slow to react to the situation and blamed the delays on road work and traffic, but denied that the government was engaging in voter suppression.[114]

  1. It will be the last opportunity in which the regional boards members are elected together with the presidential and parliamentary elections, since from the next election, scheduled for October 2024, they will be elected together with the mayors, councilors and regional governors, being the first election of the latter in April 2021. Therefore, the term of the regional boards members elected in 2021 will last just under three years, between March 11, 2022 and January 6, 2025.
