2022 proposed Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile

Main page of the proposal, dated 4 July 2022

The proposed Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile was a Constitutional draft written by the Constitutional Convention of Chile between 4 July 2021 and 4 July 2022. An early draft was made available on 14 May 2022.[1] The final proposal was made available on 4 July 2022.[2]

A national plebiscite was held on 4 September 2022 to determine whether the public agreed with the proposed Constitution.[3][4] It was rejected by a margin of 62% to 38%.[5][6]

The proposal sought to replace the 1980 Chilean Constitution, whose original text was ratified by a plebiscite during the military dictatorship of Chile[7] and, since the return to democracy, has been amended several times.[8][9][10]
