Abstract
Chileans, like people from most Latin American countries, report little trust in their political institutions (66.6% of the population reported having low or no trust in the justice department, 76.9% in the congress and 64.9% in the government; Corporacion Latinobarometro, 2013). Indeed, the observed decline in Chilean voter turnout has been stronger than in other democracies of the world (Corvalan & Cox, 2011).
