1988 Chilean presidential referendum

A referendum on whether Augusto Pinochet, the head of a military dictatorship, should become president for eight years under resumed civilian rule was held in Chile on 5 October 1988. The "No" side won with 56% of the vote, marking the end of Pinochet's 16½-year rule. Democratic elections were held in 1989, leading to the establishment of a new government in 1990.
