Election Certification Tribunal

The Election Certification Tribunal (Spanish: Tribunal Calificador de Elecciones, Tricel) is Chile's highest authority on electoral justice, responsible for supervising, validating, and proclaiming the results of presidential and congressional elections. Headquartered in Santiago, it also resolves complaints related to the electoral process and hears appeals from regional electoral tribunals. Established under the 1925 Constitution and redefined by the 1980 Constitution, Tricel replaced the previous system in which the Full Congress and each legislative chamber certified election results.
