Chileans are currently voting in a presidential runoff between conservative former President Sebastian Pinera and centre-left candidate Alejandro Guillier, a senator and popular TV journalist. The poll according to Aljazeera opened on Sunday at 11:00 GMT and will close at 21:00 GMT with the final results being expected on Sunday night.
According to the report, education reform, growing inequality and a stagnant economy are the key issues for voters but many are expected to stay home after a poor turnout in the first round of voting last month.
Sebastine Pinera, a billionaire businessman who led the country from 2010 to 2014, had been widely predicted to win, but a strong performance in the first round by outsider candidates plunged the race into uncertainty.
The November 19 vote returned a lower-than-expected 36.6 percent for Pinera, while Guillier came second with nearly 23 percent. A candidate needs 50 percent to win outright.
