Elections in Ecuador
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ecuador elects on the national level a president and a legislature. The President of the Republic and the Vice President are elected on one ballot for a four-year term by the people. The National Assembly (Asamblea Nacional) has 137 members elected for a four-year term in the 24 provinces (so multi-seat constituencies).
Ecuador has a mandatory voting system; citizens who fail to vote are fined.[1][2] To facilitate universal voting, elections are always held on Sundays and seen as community events where everyone must contribute to the work of voting days.
