A constitutional referendum was held in Chile on 4 September 2022,[1] in order to determine whether the public agreed with the text of a new Political Constitution of the Republic drawn up by the Constitutional Convention. It was commonly referred to as the "exit plebiscite" (plebiscito de salida).[2][3]

The proposed constitution, which had faced "intense criticism that it was too long, too left-wing and too radical",[4] was rejected by a margin of 62% to 38%.[5][6]
