Ballot paper used in the La Serena primaries.
The Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia primaries for the 2012 Chilean municipal elections took place nationally on 1 April 2012. 313,000 people voted in the Concertación primaries in 142 different communes . 142 out of 335 candidates were elected to represent the political conglomerate.[ 1] [ 2]
Following the defeat of the Concertación in the 2009 presidential election , the left-wing parties' primaries were qualified as "defective and restricted."[ 3] The coalition, then, set the date of the municipal primaries to determine the candidates representing the political conglomerate in the elections of October 2012.
The Concertación primaries were delayed in the commune of Providencia , Santiago Metropolitan Region until 13 May, with three candidates participating.[ 4] María Josefa Errázuriz was eventually chosen to face current-mayor Cristián Labbé in the October elections.[ 5]
