Constitutional Council elections were held in Chile on 7 May 2023.[1][2] Voting was compulsory,[3] and resulted in an electoral victory for right-wing parties, passing the threshold of a three-fifths majority of constitutional council members to freely draft a new constitution, removing the veto option from left-wing members. This marked a sharp shift from a left-wing majority that freely drafted a rejected first constitutional rewrite in 2021 and was described as a political loss for President Gabriel Boric.[4][5]
The elections came in response to the rejection of a proposed constitutional draft in a national referendum held in September 2022. Following the defeat of the draft, a multiparty agreement was reached to restart the process, which was subsequently ratified by Congress via a constitutional amendment. The new Constitutional Council was modeled after the Senate and consisted of 50 members, elected by regions. Additionally, the council had an equal number of men and women. The drafted constitution was rejected in a referendum later in 2023.
