Presidential elections were held in Chile in 1910,[1] following the death of President Pedro Montt on August 16 that year and the death of his successor, Vice President Elías Fernández Albano, less than a month later.
Fernández's vice president Emiliano Figueroa called new presidential elections. Political parties agreed on presenting a single candidate – Ramón Barros – as a symbol of unity in celebration of Chile's first centenary of independence.
