Opinion polling for the 2021 Chilean presidential election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the previous 2017 Chilean general election in November and December, different polling companies published surveys that tracked voting intention for the 2021 Chilean general election, especially the presidential election. Outgoing president Sebastián Piñera was not eligible for reelection.
Official primaries were held on 18 July where two coalitions, left-wing Apruebo Dignidad and right-wing Chile Vamos, chose their respective presidential candidates Gabriel Boric and Sebastián Sichel.[1] Centre-left coalition New Social Pact held their own primary on 21 August 2021 where they selected Yasna Provoste as their official candidate.[2][3] Other candidates were José Antonio Kast of the Christian Social Front coalition, Franco Parisi of the Party of the People, Marco Enríquez-Ominami of the Progressive Party, and Eduardo Artés of the Patriotic Union.[4]
The first round of the election took place on 21 November 2021. Since no candidate alone received more than 50% of the votes, a runoff took place on 19 December 2021 between Gabriel Boric and José Antonio Kast.[5][6] Boric won the runoff with 55.87% of the vote and will assume office on 11 March 2022.[7][8]
