# SERVEL records 55.76 percent En contra of the Council constitution; 1980 text remains Date: 2023 ## The fact On 17 December 2023 Chile voted on the Constitutional Council’s proposed text. SERVEL recorded En contra 55.76 percent (6,894,287) against A favor 44.24 percent (5,470,025). The Council had been dominated by the [Republican Party](/organizations/republican-party) after the May 2023 election. President Boric’s coalition campaigned against the text. Together with 4 September 2022 it leaves the 1980 constitution in force. ## Context He had said after 2022 that he would not force a third draft as a unique later promise stored here. Neighbouring May 2023 Council election is parent. He did not sit as a Council drafter. 4 September 2022 is the parent rejection. 11 March 2026 handover is a later child. Keep SERVEL records 55.76 percent En contra of the Council constitution; 1980 text remains on 2023-12-17 separate from neighbouring 4 September 2022 Rechazo, Ley 21.560, 17 December 2023 En contra, Ley 21.735, and the 11 March 2026 handover. The president of Chile is head of state and head of government. He can promulgate statutes Congress sends and order border patrols. He does not sit as a SERVEL teller, a Constitutional Convention drafter, a Carabinero at a checkpoint, or a Peruvian border clerk. ## Evidence and sources Servicio Electoral de Chile carries the official instrument or communique. El País records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [boric](/people/gabriel-boric)-constitutional-security: a completed second rejection that leaves the 1980 charter in force. ## What is established and what is not Established: SERVEL recorded En contra at about 56 percent on 17 December 2023; the 1980 constitution remained. Not established: A unique later left electoral coefficient from that Sunday, or that every 2025 runoff vote is this same instrument. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. He campaigned against the Council text. The Council drafted. Voters rejected.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies SERVEL records 55.76 percent En contra of the Council constitution; 1980 text remains, not a later speech about SERVEL records 55.76 percent En contra of the Council constitution; 1980 text remains. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. SERVEL records 55.76 percent En contra of the Council constitution; 1980 text remains on 2023-12-17 is not a licence to treat every later Servicio Electoral de Chile communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average SERVEL records 55.76 percent En contra of the Council constitution; 1980 text remains into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to SERVEL counted. He campaigned against the Council text. The Council drafted. Voters rejected. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Gabriel Boric: https://factrail.ai/people/gabriel-boric ## Drivers - Boric-era constitutional rewrite and domestic security: https://factrail.ai/drivers/boric-constitutional-security ## Sources - https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-12-18/chile-rejects-conservative-constitution-with-55-voting-against-it.html - https://www.servel.cl/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/cl-boric-en-contra-2023
