Without the minimum of votes, the election of the Student Federation of the University of Chile (FECH) was completed, so it was not validated.
According to the results to be formalized by the Election Rating Court, only 14.33% of students eligible to vote did so, which equates to 4,562 validly issued votes.
Since 40% of the students have not voted, a congress will have to be held that reformes the federation. This process will be carried out by the applications, through an internal table.
Possibility to extend the election another day? None, due to low participation. This could have happened if the floor was reached 25% and less than 40%.
Emilia Schneider said through her Twiiter account that “the Fech elections ended and they did not comply with the regulatory quorum so it will have to initiate a recast congress process. Urge and no shortcut.”
“We hope that the time we were a FECH directive has brought a grain of sand to the political processes that the country is experiencing and to make sense of the student organization. There is certainly a long road that does not begin or end today,” he said.
Five lists, a right-wing list, an independent environmental list, an alternative to the Communist Youth, a radical left list and a Broad Front list were presented to the process.
