Read the full account

On 4 September 2022 Chile voted under compulsory turnout on the Constitutional Convention’s proposed text. President Boric had campaigned for Apruebo. That night he accepted the result.

Context

He had taken the oath on 11 March 2022. The Convention sat as a 2021-elected body. Neighbouring 6 September cabinet shuffle is a child. He did not sit as a SERVEL teller.

2020 entry plebiscite was under Piñera. 17 December 2023 is a later child. Keep SERVEL records 61.87 percent Rechazo of the Convention constitution Boric championed on 2022-09-04 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.

Why it matters

The path is boric-constitutional-security: a completed rejection of the text his coalition championed.
