District 19 (Spanish: Distrito 19) is one of the 28 multi-member electoral districts of the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the National Congress, the national legislature of Chile. The district was created by the 2015 electoral reform and came into being at the following general election in 2017. It is conterminous with the region of Ñuble. The district currently elects five of the 155 members of the Chamber of Deputies using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2021 general election the district had 430,998 registered electors.

History

District 19 was one of 28 electoral districts established by Ley N°20.840 Sustituye el sistema electoral binominal por uno de carácter proporcional inclusivo y fortalece la representatividad del Congreso Nacional passed by the National Congress in January 2015.[4] It consisted of the communes of Bulnes, Cabrero, Chillán, Chillán Viejo, Cobquecura, Coelemu, Coihueco, El Carmen, Ninhue, Ñiquén, Pemuco, Pinto, Portezuelo, Quillón, Quirihue, Ránquil, San Carlos, San Fabián, San Ignacio, San Nicolás, Treguaco, Yumbel and Yungay in the region of Biobío.[4] In September 2018 the province of Ñuble was promoted to region status.[5] As a result, the communes of Cabrero and Yumbel, which were located in the province of Biobío, were transferred from District 19 to District 21.[6]

Electoral system

District 19 currently elects five of the 155 members of the Chamber of Deputies using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system.[7][8] Parties may form electoral pacts with each other to pool their votes and increase their chances of winning seats.[9][10] However, the number of candidates nominated by an electoral pact may not exceed the maximum number of candidates that a single party may nominate. Seats are allocated using the D'Hondt method.[11][12]
