However, some provinces have opted not to hold elections concurrently with the national elections.If no candidate reaches the required threshold, a second round of voting will occur in November.Colombia will conduct regional elections on October 29, including the election of governors for all 32 departments, mayors for all municipalities, and various other positions at the regional and local levels.The Venezuelan opposition has scheduled primary elections for October 22 to determine the candidate who will face President Nicolás Maduro in the 2023 presidential elections.Argentina may hold a second round of general elections in November if no candidate secures a majority in October.Chile will witness the conclusion of the Constitutional Council’s work, followed by a vote on the proposed new Political Constitution.December’s political calendar includes a plebiscite in Chile on the 17th, where citizens decide whether to adopt a new Political Constitution.Most Latin American governments will determine minimum wage adjustments for 2024 throughout November and December, considering projected inflation and productivity.The intense electoral agenda in 2023 occurs against a backdrop of global economic challenges, social unrest, and growing demands from citizens.Trust in traditional elites, politics, and institutions remains low, with high levels of polarization and fragmentation observed across the region.
