Voter registration records in Chile are crucial for genealogy, documenting names, addresses, and political participation. While early electoral lists existed in the 19th century, universal suffrage was progressively expanded, with women gaining full voting rights in 1949. Since Chile’s democratic institutions maintain detailed voter registries, more recent lists are accessible. These records help genealogists verify ancestral locations, track family movements, and supplement civil registration and census data. Given Chile’s history of internal migration and emigration, voter lists serve as an essential tool for tracing family histories across generations.
