Overview
- Final surveys released before the embargo consistently place Jeannette Jara in first place but below the majority needed to win outright.
- Fragmented right-wing support leaves the second-place slot unsettled, with most polls keeping José Antonio Kast in that position even as some show him losing momentum to Johannes Kaiser.
- Black&White’s last poll puts Jara at 30%, Kast at 23%, Kaiser at 20% and Evelyn Matthei at 17%.
- La Cosa Nostra projects Jara at 33.5% and indicates a tight contest for second, with Kaiser and Matthei near 19.3% and Kast around 17.7%.
- Chilean law now bars media from publishing new polls for 15 days; the first round is set for November 16 and a December 14 runoff will be held if no candidate surpasses 50%.
