The Electoral Service (Servel) sent this week a technical report to Congress with suggestions for a possible constitutional schedule. In it, they recommend carrying out a first electoral process (election of conventional) for April 2023 and suggest carrying out a second process (exit plebiscite) for December of the same year.
According to The Mercurythe agency delivered the report days after a meeting -held last Friday- between the presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies and the Senate, Raul Soto (PPD) and Alvaro Elizalde (PS), and the Board of Directors of Servel, led by Andres Tagle.

In the document, the Servel delivers a series of recommendations. The first is “not to verify any electoral process in the remainder of the year 2022.”
They also suggest, “considering the opening period of the Electoral Registry (60 days) and the conformation of the electoral roll (140 days prior to the election) from the closing of the Registry”, that the next electoral process be in the first fortnight of April of 2023. This would correspond to the election of conventional for the eventual new Constitutional Convention.
“In the previous term, the 90 days prior to the elections of candidates are subsumed, to declare candidacies if it is so agreed,” Servel pointed out.
Likewise, they recommend that “a second electoral process” be carried out in the first fortnight of December 2023. This instance would correspond to the exit plebiscite of the proposed new Constitution.
