Published 14 May 2021
Besides the traditional mayors and councilmen positions, voters will elect for the first time 16 governors and 155 members of the Constituent Convention.
The consulting firm IPSOS on Thursday revealed a recent study showing high levels of uncertainty and lack of information among Chile's electorate as 57 percent of interviewees had no precisions over the subnational elections to take place on May 15 and 16.
The survey interviewed 600 people, only 43 percent of whom knew that four public office posts would be voted this weekend. The figure decreased by 31 percent among the population under 35 years of age.
Even though 42 percent of interviewees assured they would vote, the study also showed that 58 percent of people believed that the turnout would be lower than expected due to the pandemic.
