Chilean vote on who will write a new constitution

This weekend, Chileans are voting to elect representatives who will be tasked to rewrite the constitution that was drafted in 1980 under former President Augusto Pinochet. 

It promises to be a landmark event, with gender parity assured amongst representatives. But it is just one step in a long constitutional process.
