The Expert Commission (Spanish: Comisión Experta) in Chile was a 24 member body created to assist in the drafting of a new constitution by the second constituent assembly.
The proposed constitution, which had faced "intense criticism that it was too long, too left-wing and too radical",[6] was rejected by a margin of 62% to 38%.
Additionally, a 14-member body appointed by Congress will ensure that the proposed text aligns with the 12 institutional and fundamental principles outlined in the agreement.
Independent Democratic Union politician Hernán Larraín, who previously supported the Pinochet dictatorship was chosen to head the Council of Experts to draft the new constitution.
[14] Council members would be directly elected in May, with equal representation of men and women and the participation of indigenous peoples.
The council was given a deadline to deliver the draft constitution by 6 November, and a mandatory referendum was set to be held on 17 December 2023.
[18][19] Following the Assembly's establishment in June, the commissioners will join and be able to attend sessions and commissions, and have the right to speak, but not vote.
