Elections in Chile: Bachelet vs. Pineda

Voting in Chile is not mandatory. When you get the age of 18 you have the option to whether register or not to vote. Once your registered, it is mandatory to vote. You can register anytime you want during your life after 18 years olds. People cant drink or party the night before elections, and I can say most of the people respect that. These pictures were taken in Concepcion, in a voting place, where the board members kindly let us take some pictures, and tell us a little bit about elections in Chile. No papers, flyers, posters, or any kind of publicity material are found in the streets after elections!!!. Who won the elections?. Bachelet did. The first woman president in the history of Chile, Ex Ministry of Health and Defense from Lagos Government, a professional, poliglot and a democrat...and who are we gonna elect for President in Peru?. Its up you!
