And now it begins.

Polls have closed in Magallanes. Still early, but very - dare I say extremely - encouraging results for the Partido Republicano.

[kaoras]

Tele 13 has consolidated vote of the early results from Magallanes as they come in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heVtqQtKAE8

So far it looks like this



As expected, lot of null votes

[Mike88]

T13 channel quick counting of the Magallanes region is the following, so far:

26.8% Republicanos
22.5% Unidad Chile
15.5% Chile Seguro
12.7% Todo por Chile
  4.2% Partido de la Gente
18.3% Independents

[Mike88]

So, far, and if I did my math is right, in Boric's precinct, 35% of votes are either Blank or Invalid.

[kaoras]

Both Republicans and UpCh are going up

I will now accept my accolades

[kaoras]

Now like that.

Interesting pattern with the geolocalization. Universidad de Magallanes and Gimnasio Fiscal polling stations, where most of the TV stations are and which are in an uppity zone of Punta Arenas, have TxCh doing very well alongside the right, and with less nulls than in other pollings stations. But overall it seems that Unidad para Chile gets support on the back of the poorer zones of the city (apparently)

Still very early though.

[DavidB.]

What are the chances of the constitution actually improving, from a right-wing perspective, compared to the current status-quo?

[Mike88]

The count is finalized in Boric's precinct. The Republicanos are the most voted list. 60 invalid ballots here.

[kaoras]

Canal 13 is now changing wildly every minute. Better to wait for SERVEL

[Mike88]

First results from SERVEL are being reported, just 0.03%:

34.1% Republicanos
22.3% Unidad pr Chile
15.8% Chile Seguro
13.5% Todo por Chile

10.0% Independents

24.1% Blank/Invalid ballots

Btw, being a poll watcher now, keep me updated!

3% of the Magallanes vote, more or less.

[Mike88]

We'll keep you updated Kaoras. Have fun at the count.

[Lumine]

8% of Magallanes vote now, Chile Seguro gains a few points. Still one Republican and one Unidad por Chile on track to be elected.

[Mike88]

According to a reporter, it seems that many, many voters voted in their preferred candidate of each of the 6 lists on the ballot and thus, invalidated their ballots.

Lol, that meant that they fully intended to vote null.

Probably.

[Mike88]

Around 9 million votes expected, with the current trends. Could change with more data.

[Lumine]

With 2,36%:

Partido Republicano 35,49%
Unidad para Chile 25,45%
Chile Seguro 21,50%
Todo por Chile 10,05%
PDG 5,33%

[Mike88]

7.81% counted:

36.2% Republicanos
26.2% Unidad pr Chile
22.0% Chile Seguro
  9.5% Todo por Chile
  5.2% Partido de la Gente
  1.0% Independents

21.3% Blank/Invalid ballots

Seat count would be Rep 23, UpCh 16, ChS 11. A few seats could still change but it will remain more or less like that.

Truly dystopic results.

[Lumine]

The rate things are going, Partido Republicano may have won the biggest result for any single party in Chile since... 1965, I think. Different elections and all, but upwards of 30% is certainly astounding. They are even projected to gain more than 20 seats.

[Mike88]

Almost 20% counted and it's 36% Republicanos, 27% UpCh and 22% ChS.

If the trend continues the rightwing could get a 2/3 majority in the Constitutional Council. Wow!

[Lumine]

Well... I mean, it sure beats the dark days of 2021, but this can't be good.

I don't think I ever wondered how a Republican-written Constitution would actually look like, because with this result they really can't drop things and pretend it's not their problem. It's all but theirs to write.
