2024 Chilean municipal elections
The 2024 Chilean municipal elections were held on 26–27 October 2024 to choose mayors and municipal councillors across Chile's 346 communes.
These elections marked a return to Chile's regular municipal cycle following the COVID-19 pandemic, which had postponed the 2020 vote to 2021. They were the first municipal elections held under Chile's reinstated compulsory voting law.
Voters cast ballots for local and regional offices simultaneously, including regional governors and councillors, as part of Chile's ongoing decentralization reforms. Primary elections to select mayoral and regional governor candidates were held on 9 June 2024.
Electoral alliances
The formation of electoral alliances began in early April 2024, with several coalitions announcing their participation. On 7 April, the parties Amarillos por Chile, Democrats, and Sentido Común joined forces to create the "Centro Democrático" alliance for the municipal elections. The following day, the Christian Social Party registered its own electoral pact with independent candidates, scheduling mayoral primaries in key communes including Independencia and Concepción.The center-right Chile Vamos coalition, comprising RN, the UDI, and Evópoli, formally registered on 9 April. Their pact included provisions for primaries to select both regional governor and mayoral candidates. For municipal council elections, Chile Vamos initially filed three separate lists—one for each member party alongside independent candidates. However, in a strategic shift the next day, the UDI and Evópoli lists were merged into a single pact with separate sub-sections for each party.
Also on 9 April, the governing coalition's "Contigo Chile Mejor" alliance was registered, bringing together the ruling parties with the Christian Democratic Party. For council elections, the coalition declared four distinct lists to field candidates across different municipalities.
