The undecided want more and better information before voting for the Constitution

Four weeks before the referendum, the “Rejection” option leads the polls, but the “I Approve” option shows a rebound. The undecided range between 10% and 19%, according to the survey.

The latter are the objective of both commandos, the group they intend to conquer, convince and motivate. They are close to that 10% who in the latest polls have acknowledged not knowing which option to vote for. Undecided people who have not yet defined their preference, but who could be decisive on September 4.

The truth is that, although the majority admits a tendency, some like Alejandro Zamorano, whom we met in the Forestal park and leans towards Approval, have not fully decided their vote.

“I think that the doubt is generated by not having much knowledge of the information. It is necessary that, through television, through some medium, they advertise, make it known step by step,” he explains to RFI.

Both Approve and Reject bet their creativity and arguments to go after the undecided.

Antonia is a young woman who leans towards Rejection, but still feels insecure. “I kind of want to get a little more information first before making a decision, although there’s little time left.” Next to her is Ricardo, who believes that her indecision is due to excessive misinformation.

“More or less the same, but more inclined towards the Approval, the truth. I have also seen various things on social networks such as deputies who play with the issue of money, that is, the Approval is going to end up increasing inflation and that we are going to be worse off and that things are going to continue to rise”, says Ricardo.

Along with the options taken by the undecided, the result may be marked by the obligation to vote, something that has not happened in Chile since 2012.
