CHILE: Electoral Balance of Rural Communes in the Municipal and Regional Government Elections 2024

This report presents a brief electoral balance of the 2024 elections in rural areas, considering only the results for the offices of mayors and GOREs. Unlike other Rimisp reports, on this occasion, a comparative analysis with previous processes is not carried out due to the fact that the recent elections present different characteristics (mandatory voting and a decrease in the percentage of the majority required to elect GOREs). The territorial focus of the study is on the commune as the unit of analysis, using the categorisation defined by the National Rural Development Policy (PNDR), namely: urban (82), rural (185) and mixed (78).
