General elections were held in [[Chile]] on 17 November 2013 to elect the president, all 120 members of the [[Chamber of Deputies of Chile|Chamber of Deputies]], 20 of the 38 members of the [[Senate of Chile|Senate]] and 278 members of regional boards. All elected members would serve a four-year term, aside from the Senators would serve for eight years. All the newly elected authorities began their terms on 11 March 2014.

In the presidential election, former president [[Michelle Bachelet]] fell short of the absolute majority needed for an outright win. In the runoff election, held on 15 December, she beat former senator and Minister of Labor [[Evelyn Matthei]] with over 62% of the vote, with turnout significantly lower than in the first round. This marked the first time [[List of female Chilean presidential candidates|two women faced each other]] in a runoff in Chilean history.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2013-11-17 |title=Chile election: Bachelet and Matthei go to second round |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-24977405 |access-date=2025-07-27 |work=BBC News |language=en-GB}}</ref>

In the parliamentary elections, the [[New Majority (coalition)|New Majority]] coalition (backing Bachelet's candidacy) won back control of both chambers of Congress, winning 12 of the 20 contested seats in the [[Senate of Chile|Senate]], for a total of 21 out of 38 total seats, and 67 of the 120 seats in the [[Chamber of Deputies of Chile|Chamber of Deputies]].

These were the first presidential and parliamentary elections in which all eligible voters were automatically enrolled, and where voting was no longer mandatory (compulsory voting was reintroduced in 2022). Members of the regional boards were directly elected for the first time.

==Presidential primaries== {{main|2013 Chilean presidential primaries}}

In December 2012 a law was published allowing political parties or coalitions to define their candidates for president in government-run primary elections. The two main political groups agreed to choose their candidates this way. Former president [[Michelle Bachelet]] won the [[New Majority (coalition)|New Majority]] primary with 73% of the vote, while former senator and minister [[Pablo Longueira]] won the Alliance primary with 51%. Longueira subsequently quit the race and was replaced with [[Evelyn Matthei]]. Sitting president [[Sebastián Piñera]] did not stand for re-election due to term limits.

The first debate was organized by ANP (National Press Association) and [[CNN Chile]] and took place in [[Coquimbo]]'s Enjoy Casino on 9 October. It ran from 20:00-22:00 with all candidates —except Bachelet, citing a prior commitment— participating.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://diario.latercera.com/2013/10/09/01/contenido/pais/31-148019-9-sin-bachelet-abanderados-sostienen-primer-debate-por-tv.shtml |title=Sin Bachelet, abanderados sostienen primer debate por TV |publisher=Diario.latercera.com |access-date=2013-10-18}}</ref> It was moderated by CNN Chile anchor Daniel Matamala. There were four other journalists from regional media present who asked the candidates two randomly selected questions. Matamala also asked two questions, which were the same to all eight candidates.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanacion.cl/sepa-como-sera-el-debate-presidencial-de-la-anp-sin-bachelet/noticias/2013-10-08/102301.html |title=nacion.cl - Sepa cómo será el debate presidencial de la ANP sin Bachelet |publisher=Lanacion.cl |date=2013-10-08 |access-date=2013-10-18}}</ref>

A radio debate organized by the Radio Broadcasters Association of Chile (Archi), took place on 25 October 2013 at the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre (GAM) in Santiago. The debate, which featured all nine candidates for the first time, was broadcast by over 600 radio stations across the country. It started at 8 AM and lasted for about 140 minutes. It was moderated by Archi president Luis Pardo and included four radio journalists: Sergio Campos (Cooperativa), Cony Stipicic (Duna), Mauricio Bustamente (Infinita) and Alejandro de la Carrera (Agricultura).<ref>{{cite web|author=El Mercurio S.A.P. |url=http://www.lasegunda.com/Noticias/Politica/2013/10/887552/como-sera-el-debate-archi-que-reunira-por-primera-vez-a-los-nueve-candidatos-presidenciales |title=Cómo será el debate ARCHI que reunirá por primera vez a los nueve candidatos presidenciales |publisher=LaSegunda.com |date=2013-10-22 |access-date=2013-11-22}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=24horas.cl |url=http://www.24horas.cl/politica/decision2013/minuto-a-minuto-debate-presidencial-de-la-archi-905191 |title=[MINUTO A MINUTO] Debate presidencial de la Archi - Decisión 2013 - 24horas |publisher=24horas.cl |date=2013-10-24 |access-date=2013-11-22}}</ref>

A series of two consecutive televised debates were organized by the National Television Association (Anatel) and broadcast by all national terrestrial television stations. All nine candidates participated, as well. The first part of the debate aired on 29 October 2013, with a second part transmitted the next day. Both shows took place at TVN's studios in Santiago, beginning at 10 PM and running for over two hours. Former Anatel president Bernardo Donoso served as moderator.

==Reactions== Following the result of the first round election, Bachelet said: "We knew that it would be tough to win on the first round, we worked really hard, and we almost did it. We did win tonight, and we are going to work hard to win comfortably in December."<ref name="aljaz">{{cite web|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2013/11/bachelet-wins-first-round-chile-vote-201311180817859676.html |title=Bachelet tops Chile president vote - Americas |publisher=Al Jazeera English |access-date=2013-12-21}}</ref> Following the first round, both candidates offered no change in aggressive campaigning for the second round except to include young MPs elected in their campaign. Matthei did however compare her politices that of German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] and Bachelet's to that of the former [[East Germany]]. While Green Ecologist Party's candidate [[Alfredo Sfeir]] was the only losing first-round candidate to back one of the two second-round candidates, in his case Michelle Bachelet,<ref name="wpost">{{cite news|last=Siavelis |first=Peter M. |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2013/12/18/bachelet-returns-to-power-in-chile-with-impressive-victory-but-what-does-low-turnout-mean-for-her-mandate/ |title=Bachelet returns to power in Chile with impressive victory, but what does low turnout mean for her mandate? |work=Washingtonpost.com |access-date=2013-12-21}}</ref> independent candidate [[Franco Parisi]] said "Bachelet will be a great President, (...)

U.S. President [[Barack Obama]] spoke with Bachelet, while the [[White House]] issued a statement that read: "The President expressed his desire to continue strengthening the [[Chile-United States relations|relationship between the United States and Chile]], building on the close partnership he enjoyed with President-elect...The President looks forward to working closely with President-elect Bachelet to advance our shared interests in the years ahead."<ref>{{cite news|author=David Jackson, USA TODAY |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2013/12/18/obama-michelle-bachelet-chile-phone-call/4115277/ |title=Obama calls president-elect of Chile |publisher=Usatoday.com |date= 18 December 2013|access-date=2013-12-21}}</ref>

===Analysis=== Though Bachelet's New Majority gained a majority of seats in the legislature, it failed to gain a four-sevenths majority required to pass legislation for her cornerstone education reform, which was the reason for mass mobilisation amidst the ongoing [[2011–13 Chilean student protests]]. They also failed to get a two-thirds majority to restructure the 1981 [[Chilean Constitution of 1980|constitution of Chile]] enacted during the [[Augusto Pinochet]] regime. [[Wake Forest University|Wake Forest]] political science Professor Peter Siavelis suggested: "The [congressional elections] result will surely be disappointing for Bachelet. [[Social movement]]s that have spilled onto the streets are demanding reform, yet the limits of the institutional structure of Chile are going to limit her capacity to engage in reform. Even though Bachelet may be the winner tonight she is not in an enviable position."<ref name="aljaz"/> ''[[The Washington Post]]'' said that Bachelet's "legacy now rides on her ability to craft a coalition for far-reaching structural and particularly political reform." It also questioned what a low turnout could mean for her mandate, which it said was not clear enough as she had to go to a second round.<ref name="wpost"/> The ''[[Huffington Post]]'' drew the 40th anniversary of the [[1973 Chilean coup d'etat|11 September coup]] as a more than subtle backdrop to the election while saying the election was a referendum on Pinochet.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/gary-villablanca-duff/chiles-election-a-referen_b_4293218.html |title=Chile's Election: A Referendum on Pinochet {{pipe}} Gary Villablanca Duff |publisher=Huffingtonpost.com |date= 18 December 2013|access-date=2013-12-21}}</ref>
