Francisco Martínez et Alejandra Mizala en route pour le second tour de l'élection rectorale de l'Université du Chili

Aucun candidat n'ayant obtenu la majorité absolue lors du premier tour, Alejandra Mizala et Francisco Martínez s'affronteront le 2 juin pour le poste de recteur pour le mandat 2026-2030.

Après la fermeture des bureaux de vote, les résultats ont montré que Mizala a recueilli 42,72 % des voix pondérées, tandis que Martínez en a obtenu 23,02 %. Sergio Lavandero et Pablo Ruiz-Tagle ont été éliminés avec respectivement 22,33 % et 11,75 % des suffrages.

Le taux de participation a atteint 72 % sur les 4 222 universitaires éligibles, un record favorisé par l'utilisation pour la première fois du vote électronique lors de ce processus. Le second tour aura lieu le 2 juin par scrutin électronique.

Les électeurs sont des professeurs justifiant d'au moins un an d'ancienneté au sein de l'institution. La rectrice actuelle, Rosa Devés, l'avait emporté dès le premier tour en 2022 avec 51,6 % des voix.
