Some eight-million voters in Chile will choose their president in a second round of elections on Sunday.

Correspondents say the two candidates, the Socialist, Ricardo Lagos, and the conservative, Joaquin Lavin, are running neck-and-neck.

The first round of voting ended in a virtual tie, with some thirty-thousand ballots separating the two men.

The winner will start a six-year term as president in March.
