Starting this Saturday, October 25, Chileans can check their electoral data for the presidential and parliamentary elections on November 16 via the Servel's website. Voting is mandatory, with fines for non-compliance, and details on polling places and poll worker assignments are released. Those unable to fulfill these duties have specific excuses available.
Chile's presidential and parliamentary elections are scheduled for Sunday, November 16, 2025. Starting this Saturday, October 25, citizens can access their electoral data on consulta.servel.cl using their RUN, or by calling 600 6000 166 (or +56 229153265 from abroad). This information includes the polling place and whether the person has been assigned as a poll worker.
Voting is mandatory under law 21.779, published on October 23, which sets fines of 0.5 to 1.5 UTM (approximately $34,000 to $103,000) for not voting. Excuses include being ill, out of the country or more than 200 km from the polling place, performing duties under Law 18.700, having certified disability, or a serious impediment certified by a local police judge.
Serving as a poll worker is also mandatory. Those unable to attend must submit excuses between October 27 and 29 to the Electoral Board, with valid reasons under Law 18.700 such as being over 70 years old, more than 300 km from the site, pregnancy, being a parent of a child under 2, caregiving for people with special needs, physical or mental impossibility, or hospital work. Documentation is required to prove these conditions. The Servel will publish the final list on November 1, including substitutes.
Poll workers will receive payment of two-thirds of a Unidad de Fomento (around $26,000), but failure to comply incurs fines of 2 to 8 UTM (approximately $138,000 to $554,000). The list of Electoral Boards is available for contact.
