The Regional Council of the Biobío Region (Spanish: Consejo Regional de la Región del Biobío), commonly known as CORE Biobío, is the regional council of the Biobío Region in Chile. It serves as the normative, decision-making, and oversight body within the Regional Government and is responsible for ensuring citizen participation in regional public administration and exercising the powers conferred upon it by the relevant organic constitutional law.[1]
The council is composed of 28 regional councillors elected by popular vote for four-year terms, with the possibility of up to two re-elections. Territorial representation is organized into provincial constituencies, distributed in three constituencies in Concepción Province, one constituency in Biobío Province and one constituency in Arauco Province.[2] Councillors serve four-year terms and may be re-elected. Until 2021, the council elected a president from among its members by absolute majority; following a constitutional reform enacted in 2020, the presidency of the regional council is held by law by the Regional Governor.[3]
