Chileans to vote in referendum on whether to scrap or keep the country’s dictatorship-era constitution

A woman takes part in a rally in support of amending the constitution established under the military rule of General Augusto Pinochet, ahead of Sunday's referendum, in Santiago, on October 22, 2020. Polls open on Sunday, a year to the day after more than one million people thronged downtown Santiago in the biggest march of Chile's social uprising.

"Learn how they privatised our water," bawled one vendor from a kiosk on the central Paseo Huerfanos street. Chileans will be asked two questions on the ballot papers: to approve or reject a new constitution, and if necessary, what kind of body should draft it, a mixed assembly composed equally of lawmakers and citizens, or a 155-member convention made up entirely of citizens.Opinion polls show more than 70 percent support a new constitution, with just 17 percent voting for rejection.
