Who is the chilean government

Thank you for submitting. Which of the following best describes you? What is your main purpose for visiting globalEDGE?

My main purpose is Each municipality is headed by a council with normative, operative and oversight functions Simple-majority system. No minimum election threshold for mayors. Municipal councils are made up of councilpersons elected by direct suffrage, through a proportional representation system.

Uninominal for mayors. Councilpersons are elected using a plurinominal mechanism based on the D'Hondt allocation method. Constitution of Chile, among other sources.

The Chilean electoral system is governed by the Constitution. The country possesses two autonomous electoral agencies. The vote to pick citizens to rewrite the constitution was borne from fierce protests that erupted over inequality and elitism in October The current constitution drafted during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet is widely perceived to favor big business over the rights of ordinary citizens.

Until recently, Chile Vamos had been confident its candidates would win at least a third of the vote. Pinera said his government and other traditional political parties should heed the "loud and clear" message that they had not adequately responded to the needs of citizens.

It was "a great opportunity" for Chileans to build a more "fair, inclusive, prosperous and sustainable country," he added. CNN's local channel in Chile projected independents would win 45 seats, Chile Vamos would gain 39, the centre-left 25, the far-left 28 and a small coalition would take one seat.

Seventeen seats have been reserved for members of Chile's indigenous communities who are not mentioned in the present charter.

Pinera cautioned, however, against extreme changes which some fear could threaten Chile's status as one of the wealthiest, most stable democracies in Latin America. Some of the more controversial ideas being advanced for the new constitution include potential changes to private land and water rights as well as to employment legislation that could threaten the interests of traditional investors.
