SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chileans will go to the polls on Sunday to vote on whether they want to swap a constitution written during the Pinochet dictatorship with a new document written by a specially elected citizens' body.

Opinion polls suggest a resounding win for the 'Approve' campaign for a new magna carta, with around two thirds of the vote.
