Chilean Presidential Primaries: What You Need to Know Before Voting

Chilean Presidential Primaries: A Crucial Vote on June 29th Chile is gearing up for its presidential primaries on June 29th, 2025, a significant step in the country's electoral process. These primaries, unlike those in 2021, will be voluntary, meaning participation is not mandatory. This has raised concerns about voter turnout, particularly given the absence of right-wing candidates from this round of the primaries. Four pre-candidates from the Unidad por Chile coalition are vying for the nomination: Gonzalo Winter, Janet Jara, Carolina Toha, and Jaime Mulet. The video highlights a recent debate between two candidates, where the communist candidate voiced concerns about public safety. "I am worried about public safety in this country," the candidate stated, emphasizing the need for serious attention to the issue. Carolina Toha, a former Minister of the Interior, responded by criticizing the right-wing's stance on the matter. T13 News will continue to provide comprehensive coverage of these primaries, including a special debate on June 15th at 10 AM, ensuring citizens are informed before casting their votes. The primaries are a crucial step in determining the future leadership of Chile.
