Francisco Martínez y Alejandra Mizala irán a balotaje por rectoría de la Universidad de Chile

Ningún candidato obtuvo mayoría absoluta en la primera vuelta, por lo que Alejandra Mizala y Francisco Martínez competirán el 2 de junio por el cargo de rector para el período 2026-2030.

Tras el cierre de las votaciones, los resultados mostraron que Mizala obtuvo el 42,72% de los votos ponderados, mientras que Martínez alcanzó el 23,02%. Sergio Lavandero y Pablo Ruiz-Tagle quedaron fuera con el 22,33% y el 11,75%, respectivamente.

La participación llegó al 72% de un padrón de 4.222 académicos, un récord impulsado por el uso del voto electrónico por primera vez en este proceso. La segunda vuelta se realizará el próximo 2 de junio mediante votación electrónica.

Los electores son profesores con al menos un año de antigüedad en la institución. La actual rectora Rosa Devés había ganado en primera vuelta en 2022 con el 51,6% de los sufragios.
