The Chilean government has sparked controversy by proposing to reduce the payment per vote for candidates and parties in the Budget Law project, just before the general elections with mandatory voting. This measure aims to neutralize the higher fiscal outlay due to increased voters, but it is criticized for its improvisation. Additionally, Servel has changed rules on publishing poll workers' lists, impacting media outlets.
