Chileans Reject Controversial New Constitution, Leaving Constitutional Question Unresolved Until 2026
• Chileans voted to reject a new conservative constitution that would have replaced the current one from the Pinochet era • The rejected draft was created by a far-right dominated assembly and contained controversial clauses around abortion and migration • This was the second rejected draft constitution in two years, leaving Chile's constitutional question unresolved • President Boric has said there will be no new constitutional process before 2026 • The vote became partly a referendum on Boric's popularity, though the 'against' option still won with over 55%
