The 2022 Chilean national plebiscite will be held in Chile on 4 September 2022,[1] in order to determine whether the public agrees with the text of a new Political Constitution of the Republic drawn up by the Constitutional Convention, which is why it is also known as an "exit plebiscite".[2]
Election date[edit]
According to the itinerary originally proposed for the constituent process, it was estimated that the plebiscite to approve or reject the text of the new Constitution would take place in September 2021, if the Constitutional Convention met its term of 9 months and did not request the 3-month extension, or in March 2022, if it requested such an extension.[3] In addition, the exit plebiscite cannot be held 60 days before or after another election, nor can it be held in January or February, which would have placed it on the first Sunday in March if an extension were requested.[4][5]
As a result of the postponement of the first plebiscite to 25 October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date of the exit plebiscite was also modified. It was projected to take place during the third quarter of 2022, in September at the latest.[6] In April 2022, it was announced that the referendum will be held on 4 September.[1]
Format[edit]
Article 142 of the 1980 Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile indicates the text that will contain the ballot in the plebiscite:[4]
In the aforementioned plebiscite, the citizens will have an electoral card that will contain the following question [...]: "Do you approve the text of the New Constitution proposed by the Constitutional Convention?". Under the question posed there will be two horizontal stripes, one next to the other. The first one will have the expression "Approve" at the bottom and the second one, the word "Reject", so that the voter can mark his preference over one of the alternatives.
— Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile of 1980, article 142
There is no contingency plan currently in place as to what will happen if the new constitution is rejected. Chilean human rights lawyer Dinka Benítez states that "Given that 80 percent of those who voted in the plebiscite want a new constitution, it seems that Chile … will necessarily have to find a way to have a new constitution" in some form, and that a "reject" vote would not necessarily be a death knell for constitutional reform.[7]
Opinion polls[edit]
The tables below list opinion polling results in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first and using the dates when the survey fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. Where the fieldwork dates are unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed with its background shaded in the leading option's colour. The "Lead" column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the options in a poll.
Voting intention estimates[edit]
The table below lists weighted voting intention estimates. Refusals are generally excluded from the party vote percentages, while question wording and the treatment of "don't know" responses and those not intending to vote may vary between polling organisations.
