Citizens Council of Observers
The Citizens Council of Observers is a commission created by the Presidency of the Republic and consists of a group of outstanding personalities for the purpose of contributing to the transparent, broad and participatory development of the Chilean debate process during 2016. This Council works in weekly sessions in which the development of the process in question is discussed and analyzed. The members of this body are appointed in person to observe the different stages contemplated on by the process, such as the local meetings and the provincial and regional councils. Citizens can take part in the activities of this Council through a Portal of Observations and Complaints.
