Law and Government
The region is governed by an intendant, who is appointed by the president. Moises Saravia is the current intendant (2011).
The administration of the region rests with the regional government, which is headed by the intendant and the regional council (Consejo Regional de Chile). The latter comprises sixteen regional administrators, who are elected indirectly (ten from Cachapoal, four from Colchagua, and two from Cardenal Caro).
