The Election Certification Court (Spanish: Tribunal Calificador de Elecciones, Tricel) is a specialized jurisdictional body in Chile with its headquarters in Santiago. It serves as the topmost authority of electoral justice and is responsible for supervising the overall scrutiny and validation of the elections for the President and the members of the National Congress. Additionally, Tricel resolves any complaints arising from the election process and proclaims the elected candidates. Previously, these duties were assigned to the Full Congress and each legislative chamber, respectively. Tricel also has the responsibility to resolve appeals of decisions made by regional electoral courts.
