The Regional Council of the Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins Region (Spanish: Consejo Regional de la Región del Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins), commonly known as CORE O'Higgins, is the regional council of the O'Higgins Region in Chile. It serves as the normative, decision-making, and oversight body within the scope of the Regional Government of O'Higgins and is responsible for ensuring citizen participation at the regional level and exercising the powers conferred upon it by the relevant organic constitutional law.[1] Its headquarters are located in the city of Rancagua.
The council is composed of 20 councillors elected by direct universal suffrage from the region's three provinces: 13 from Cachapoal Province, 5 from Colchagua Province, and 2 from Cardenal Caro 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]
