Chileans turn out at polling stations in the National Stadium, the country's biggest polling center, for a second referendum aimed at replacing the country's dictatorship-era constitution. Voters are being asked to approve or reject a more conservative draft. IMAGES
The polls have closed and workers swiftly count votes in Chile. The ballots are to determine whether to adopt a new constitution that would break from the era of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship, foster a more welfare-based society and boost Indigenous rights. If voted for, the new constitution will overhaul Chile's government, replacing the Senate with a less powerful "chamber of regions," and require women to hold at least half of positions in public institutions.

Polls open in Chile as more than 15 million voters are deciding whether to approve or reject a new constitution to replace the one inherited from the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990). IMAGES
Chilean President Sebastian Pinera votes in elections in Santiago. The poll comes two years after a social revolt against deep-rooted inequality, and months after elections for a body that will draft the new constitution -- a key demand of the protesters. IMAGES
