<p>Dear Paul,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've send a copy of presidential decret for Summer time changes for the Republic of Chile, officially published at August 13th 2022:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><a href="https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/publicaciones/2022/08/13/43327/01/2172567.pdf" id="m_3068858669085602084LPlnk757472" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/publicaciones/2022/08/13/43327/01/2172567.pdf</a><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've review your update 2022b TZdata and it's ok for this year where the summer time starts the second saturday of September ( Sep 10th at midnight), but the next years ( 2023 to 2026 ) is need to precise that the summer time event affects only for this
year according to avoid problem confusions to a Votation Day schedule to the next sunday Sept 4th (the original summer time change was schedule at Saturday Sep 3th midnight). Also consider this also affects to Easter Island Time Zone (Pacific/Easter) and
not affects to Chile/Punta_Arenas Time Zone.</p>
