The Regional Council of Atacama is the normative, decision-making, and oversight body of the Atacama Region within the framework of Chile’s regional administration. It ensures regional citizen participation and exercises the powers assigned to it by law.
The council is composed of 14 councillors elected by direct universal suffrage from the region’s three provinces: 3 from Chañaral, 7 from Copiapó, and 4 from Huasco. Councillors serve four-year terms and may be re-elected. The council elects a president from among its members by absolute majority.
