The recent electoral process in Chile represented important challenges for the political system. The launching of automatic inscription and voluntary voting generated a major concern about the actual behavior of participation and the electoral preferences of Chileans. This article focuses on three fundamental points to consider after these elections: the prevalence of a low electoral participation and the incapability of the political system to mobilize new voters; the opportunity for the second Bachelet government to bring about the reforms demanded by the citizens; and the challenge for the Right to maintain their influence in the political system after a crushing defeat in the polls.
