Electoral division of Chile
Encyclopedia
To elect members of the Chamber of Deputies
and of the Senate
, Chile
is divided into several electoral divisions, namely electoral districts and senatorial constituencies.
Notes: "VAP" is voting age population (population 18 and above on 13 December 2009); "Valid votes" is equal to "Total votes" minus spoilt vote
s (blank and null votes); "T" are total votes; "E" is enrolled population; "V" are valid votes. The voting results are for the 13 December 2009 Chamber of Deputies election.
In 2009 the Constitution was modified so that each region constitutes at least one senatorial constituency. The law determining senatorial constituencies has not been revised to reflect this change, so the list continues to be as follows:
