Chilean voters rejected an attempt to replace the country's dictatorship-era constitution Sunday, the second failure in as many years.
Sunday's vote was drafted by a conservative-led constitutional convention and contained measures authorizing immediate deportation of undocumented migrants, as well as enshrining limitations on the state's role in education and public health; the referendum failed with 56% of voters against (44% in favor), with 84% turnout. The vote in September 2022 failed by an even wider margin, and was drafted by a convention with a majority of left-leaning delegates.
