Chilean electoral tribunal overturns Fernández Allende's mayoral victory

After a spectacular recount of the votes in ñuñoa, the incumbent mayor of this district was declared winner, Pedro Sabat, for six years more. The last October 28th, in the count of votes was given as winner to Maya Fernandez for a minimal difference of 20 votes, but days later the Regional Electoral Court made recounted the votes again, but this time added two polling centres which was not included by a discrepency between the numbers of votes and information in the act of vote.

For one week, Ñuñoa was without a clear elected mayor, Pedro Sabat and Maya Fernandez  were showed themselves as winner, but finally Pedro Sabat was elected winner for 30 votes, being the third period in charge. But the Electoral system was put in discussion because the “Vocales de Mesa” are the direct responsible of counting and make the act of votes, but the mayority of them are inexpert, because they introducing mistake and lagging into the final results. This problem was strenghten by the new reform to the system making the vote be voluntary and the inscription is automatic, so 5 millions of new voters was able for vote, but the 60% of people didn’t went to vote.

In comments for Facebook and twitter, the Fernandez-Allende and pro-right wing followers, was a battle each other, because the painful between both force doesn’t close and heal yet.
