SANTIAGO, Nov 16, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Voting opened Sunday in Chile's general elections after a campaign dominated by rising crime and immigration, fuelling far-right calls for an "iron fist" and Donald Trump-style threats of mass deportations.

Chileans will have eight hours to vote for president and parliament, with initial results expected within two hours of polls closing at 4:00 pm (1900 GMT).
