Chile held presidential and parliamentary elections on 16 November 2025.  As no presidential candidate secured an absolute majority, a runoff election is scheduled for 14 December 2025 between the two leading contenders: Jeannette Jara of the Unity of Chile coalition and José Antonio Kast of the Republican Party.

Voters went to the polls to elect the next President, all 155 seats in the lower house Chamber of Deputies, and 23 of the 50 seats in the upper house Senate. 

Chile reintroduced compulsory voting in 2023.

The new president will take office on 11 March 2026 and serve a four-year term.

Incumbent President Gabriel Boric of the Unity of Chile coalition was constitutionally barred from seeking a consecutive second term and was replaced by Jeannette Jara as the presidential candidate.

Chile has a bicameral Congress. Members of the Chamber of Deputies serve four-year terms and Senate members serve eight-year terms.

The country has a population of around 19.9 million and 15 million registered voters. In the 2021 election, voter turnout was 47%.
