2026–2030 Rectorship Election
Universidad de Santiago de Chile
One of Chile's leading academic institutions elected its 2026–2030 rectorship through a hybrid process that combined electronic voting with in-person stations, supported by EVoting across both rounds.
Context
Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), one of the country's most important academic institutions, once again trusted EVoting to run a process that is key to its institutional life: the 2026–2030 rectorship election. This experience builds on the one carried out in 2022, consolidating its confidence in our platform.
Challenge
The main challenge was to guarantee maximum security and transparency in the election, given the scale and prestige of the institution. It was also crucial to effectively integrate in-person voting with electronic voting to ensure the accessibility and legitimacy of the process.
Solution
The election was held in a hybrid format, combining electronic voting with in-person stations where voters could cast their ballots with the support of the EVoting team. Our support covered both rounds of the process, from the draw for the order of candidates on the ballot to the count and the generation of the subsequent documents, using its electronic voting platform.
Results
The runoff reached 2,130 votes cast out of an electorate of 2,916 voters. This result reinforces USACH's trust in EVoting's technology, after having used the platform previously in 2022 for a similar process.
