Chileans vote on Sunday in a presidential runoff that could see a far-right, Trump-inspired candidate take power.
José Antonio Kast, 59, is the favorite. The former congressman has promised to build a wall on Chile's borders and expel tens of thousands of undocumented migrants.
He faces Jeannette Jara, 51. She is a former labor minister for the current center-left president, Gabriel Boric.
The election's result is uncertain due to compulsory voting. This rule could create unexpected volatility in the final outcome.
