Chileans vote in a presidential election on Sunday, pitting the governing leftist coalition against an array of right-wing candidates that will also redefine the country's legislature.

Polls opened at 8 a.m. local time (1100 GMT) and are expected to close at 6 p.m. (2100 GMT), but will remain open if there are voting lines. Initial results are expected quickly with a full count within hours.

There are eight candidates in the race and none are expected to get the 50% plus one vote needed to win the election outright, likely triggering a run-off between the top two candidates on December 14.
