Outstanding innovation

Although PB initiatives in the country are born due to political will of the mayors at local level, since 2014 the region of Los Ríos started its own process. One of the main reasons was the high valuation of citizen participation that exists in this territory and historical roots of the creation of the region of Los Ríos that happened in 2007 (preceded by a social movement of more than 30 years that demanded to be a region), and, of course, the political will of its representatives. This regional experience without any law mandating such a process is quite interesting, bearing in mind that Chile is a very centralized country, because its regional authorities are appointed and not elected by citizens.

Principal tendencies detected

Since the first experience of PB in 2002 in the country, all cases are based on the political will of the mayors, once all of them are implemented at local level, with the exception of the PB of Los Ríos Region. The presentation of proposals is made mainly through social leaders, which means that the selection of the projects that go on the ballot paper is carried out in neighborhood or territorial assemblies, where mostly representatives of social organizations (in some cases also
institutions) participate. Regarding voting and prioritizing proposals, predominates the model of the direct and universal vote of people over 15 years.
