Municipal Plebiscite of Las Condes
The Municipal Plebiscite of Las Condes decided on the construction of road works, specifically on overpasses, in order to improve the traffic and accessibility in the municipality. The plebiscite was of a binding nature, and 72.32% of those registered in the electoral registers of the municipality participated. Of these, a majority, 61.75% of the valid votes approved the proposal, while 38.25% of the voters rejected it; null and blank votes amounted to 3%.
