With seven votes in favor, two abstentions and one vote against, the Mixed Commission that analyzes the reform on reserved seats for native peoples in the Constitutional Convention, set the criteria for how indigenous voters will be identified.
Basically, the regulations provide that the Servel will identify indigenous voters in the register according to the following antecedents:
a) List of people who are included in the National Registry of Indigenous Qualities.
b) Administrative data that contain the obvious Mapuche surnames in accordance with the provisions of the respective exempt resolution of the director of the Conadi.
c) Payroll of indigenous surnames of applicants to indigenous scholarship programs (basic, secondary and university) since 1993.
d) Special indigenous registry for the election of indigenous councilors of the Conadi.
e) Register of indigenous communities and associations.
f) Registration for the election of commissioners of the Easter Island Development Commission.
The payroll must be published by the Servel up to 60 days before the election.
Declared jurisdictions
Likewise, it was established that they will be able to vote for the conventional indigenous seats:
a) Citizens identified by the Servel as indigenous voters
b) Citizens who do not appear on said payroll identify themselves as such prior to the day of the election, obtaining authorization from the Servel by:
1.- accredit their indigenous quality through a certificate from the Conadi that demonstrates their quality as such or, 2.- a sworn statement prepared by the Servel where it is expressly indicated that the person declares that they comply with any of the conditions established by law 19,253 to obtain indigenous status granted before the following ministers of faith: notaries, municipal secretaries, civil registry official, Conadi or directly before the Servel via face-to-face or with a unique password.
Such statements may be edelivered to the Servel until the 45th day before the election by the interested party.
This register will not be binding on the number of seats to be elected, nor will it have purposes other than the mere fact of allowing the vote for indigenous peoples’ candidates within the framework of the election process for conventional constituents.
The approved indication goes against what was proposed by deputy René Saffirio, who proposed a self-identification on the same day of the vote. His motion was rejected.
Thus, the approved proposal must return to both houses for ratification.
