Chileans will vote in a runoff presidential election on Sunday, with nearly 15.6 million registered voters set to cast ballots.
Polls will close at 6 p.m. local time (2100 GMT), pending voter lines, with initial results expected soon after.
The runoff pits Jose Antonio Kast, from the far-right Republican Party that he founded, against Jeannette Jara, the incumbent leftist government’s coalition candidate from the Communist Party.
While Jara won November’s first round with 26.85% of the vote, Kast beat out an array of right-wing candidates to finish second with 23.92%. Most of the voters who supported those candidates are projected to go for Kast, which would give him more than 50% of the vote and the presidency.
