A constitutional reform approved by the National Congress established that Chilean citizens over the age of 18 who are outside Chile will be able to vote in presidential elections, presidential primaries and national plebiscites.

In order to exercise the right to vote abroad, they must carry out one of the following procedures: change of electoral address or registration in the Electoral Register.

The process can be carried out in the Consulates of Chile, in the International Police when entering or leaving the country, in the regional addresses of the Electoral Service (Servel) or in the website http://cambiodomicilio.servel.cl/ using a password Unique granted abroad by the Consulates of Chile.

In addition, Chileans born outside the country, over 17 years of age and who have been in Chile for more than 1 year, can do this in the Consulates of Chile or in the regional offices of the Electoral Service in Chile.

Citizens of Chile abroad have until July 1, 2017 to request a change of address or register with the Electoral Register, in order to participate in the presidential election to be held on November 19.
