2012 Concertación municipal primaries

The Concertación primaries for Chile's 2012 municipal elections were held nationwide on 1 April 2012. Around 313,000 people voted across 142 communes, selecting 142 candidates from 335 pre-candidates to represent the coalition.[1][2]

Following the Concertación's defeat in the 2009–2010 presidential election, the coalition's primaries were described as "defective and restricted."[3] The coalition later set a date for municipal primaries to select its candidates for the October 2012 elections.

In the Santiago Metropolitan Region commune of Providencia, the Concertación primaries were delayed until 13 May, with three candidates participating.[4] Josefa Errázuriz was ultimately chosen to challenge incumbent mayor Cristián Labbé in the October elections.[5]
