Salvador Allende.
In the general election, Allende received 36.6% of the popular vote, while Jorge Alessandri received 35.3% of the popular vote. The remaining 28.1% of the popular vote went to Radomiro Tomic.
Since none of the candidates received an absolute majority of the votes, according to the Chilean Constitution, the National Congress had to decide between the two leading candidates, Allende and Alessandri. In that vote, Allende received 78.46% of the votes, while Alessandri received 17.95% of the votes. The remaining 3.59% of the votes were blank ballots turned in. Thus, Allende was elected as President of Chile on October 24, 1970.
