- Chileans are voting in a referendum on whether to adopt a progressive new constitution that would enact broad institutional reforms, transforming a market-driven society into one that is more welfare-based.
- At the campaign’s closing rally to approve the new constitution Thursday night, 500,000 people turned out.
- The new constitution would also overhaul Chile’s government, replacing the Senate with a less powerful “chamber of regions” and requiring women to hold at least half of positions in public institutions.
