A national plebiscite was held on 4 September 2022 to determine whether the public agreed with the proposed Constitution.[3][4] It was rejected by a margin of 62% to 38%.[5][6]
The proposal was the first written by a democratically-elected organ, and it sought to replace the 1980 Chilean Constitution, whose original text was ratified by a controversial plebiscite during the military dictatorship of Chile[7] and, since the return to democracy, has been amended several times.[8][9][10]
