Chilean Presidential Election 2017 (Piñera landslide, defeats Guillier with 54%)

[seb_pard]

267,116 non-chileans are eligible to vote tomorrow, 11.9% higher than last year (2016 municipal election). That's aprox 1.9% of the electoral universe. Peruvians represent 42% of the total.

The requisites to vote for non-chileans are:
1) Over 18 at election day.
2) Not have been convicted of an afflictive penalty.
3) Have lived in Chile for more than 5 years.


(This doesn't consider naturalized chileans)

People waiting to vote in Sydney:







A reminder, in the primaries (the first election in which people abroad were eligible to vote) in New Zealand (Wellington) the results were the following:

Chile Vamos
Piñera: 10 votes (35.7%)
Kast: 11 (39.3%)
Ossandon: 7 (25%)

Frente Amplio
Sanchez: 10 (58.8%)
Mayol: 7 (41.2%)

In the case of Australia (Canberra+Melbourne+Sydney+Perth):

Chile Vamos
Piñera: 110 (45.5%)
Kast: 77 (31.8%)
Ossandon: 55 (22.75%)

Frente Amplio
Sanchez: 83 (61.9%)
Mayol: 51 (38.1%)

A few hours ago the consul in Wellington said that more than 100 people casted their votes, so we can expect a good turnout from abroad, which I don't think it would be the same here, but could help with the projection.

I think from Oceania we could expect a strong result from Piñera (maybe 50% of the vote?), meanwhile Sanchez and Guillier would fight for second place, the rest of the candidates will display very poor results I believe. That's a guess, because I have no idea, but it would be interesting.

It will be quite an exciting day! Here's hoping for a strong victory for the center-right, although everything depends on turnout.

Tomorrow I will vote for president, deputy and Core (regional council), my choices are:

-President: Leaning Guillier
-Deputy: Fernando Atria, from the Socialist Party, constitutional lawyer and part of the wing of the PS that is in favor of a closer relationship with the Frente Amplio. I'm actually very happy for this vote, and I convinced some people to vote for him! . My district is very right wing (and the wealthiest in the country) but I think Atria is the best candidate to get the left-wing vote here.
-CORE: Marco Undurraga, from the Socialist Party, he is an english teacher for a engineering company and he is the finance chair of the company union. I really don't know his chances but I feel comfortable of voting for him.

Interesting, seb_pard, from what you've said so far Atria makes perfect sense but I was a bit surprised you're leaning Guillier, I would have been certain you'd go for Sanchez.

As for myself I've decided not to go for Piñera in the first round and vote Kast instead, I rather like his economic agenda and his intentions to cut down on the size of government, even if strongly oppose his stances on social issues. I'll probably vote for RN candidates for Senate, Deputy and CORE as well.

I have issues with the way the have developed her campaign (she is a very bad campaigner), I still have issues with Guillier but in a way I think he is more concrete in ways Sanchez isn't. I'm still thinking btw hahaha.

Results from China

[seb_pard]

Contrary to expectations, participation seems high, so probably we are going to see a higher turnout than expected. We are watching on TV polling stations with long lines both in rich and poor communes. That's good news.

I voted like an hour ago, waited 10 minutes to cast my vote, a lot of candidates for deputy (my district chooses 6) and CORE (my district chooses 4).


In a few hours we are going to receive the results from Europe, expect excellent results for Sanchez and Guillier and bad for Piñera.

[Oryxslayer]

You got a newspaper/livestream link for us to watch, or are there none up yet?

[seb_pard]

Off course, this is the link to the livestream of two chilean channels (TVN and Canal 13):

http://www.tvn.cl
http://www.t13.cl/en-vivo

If it is blocked from abroad just tell me and I'm going to check if there's another link.

Also Cooperativa (very good political radio station) it's recording a live stream from facebook, if you know spanish it's worth the listening:

https://www.facebook.com/Cooperativa/videos/10155200932205895/?notif_id=1511107377086075&notif_t=live_video

I'm going to check if there's anything good in english

Probably because in the OBPE UDP are trying to certify the results in someway (official results aren't released until 6 PM in Chile-4 PM ET-), but they aren't counting for example the result from Oslo (I saw a video of the counting in Facebook from a Chilean swede radio station) or Israel.

[seb_pard]

Polls start to close in 10 minutes in Chile, although there are still long lines in many places.

I recommend you this link to watch:

You can see live counting, which I think is very funny to watch!
