Elections in Chile
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Politics of Chile Elections in Chile gives information on election and election results in Chile.
Chile holds nationwide presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections. Presidential elections elect a president, who serves as chief of state and head of government for a period of six years—four years starting in 2005. Parliamentary elections elect 38 senators (two for each constituency) and 120 deputies (two for each constituency). Municipal elections elect one mayor and a number of councilmen per municipality.
Chile has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, coalitions in the case of Chile, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party.
