OAS: Preliminary report of the OAS Electoral Observation Mission in Ecuador (October 18, 2023); accessed 1 January 2024

“Due to the problems encountered with the digital voting system during the August 20 election day that prevented a large number of Ecuadorians abroad from voting, and that impaired the integrity of that system, on August 30 the CNE ordered7 a repeat of the legislative elections abroad. It did so after the Special Overseas Board (JEE) had resolved on August 25, 2023 to annul the votes in the special overseas constituencies of Europe, Asia, Oceania, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Canada, and the United States. [...] The repetition of the elections abroad simultaneously with the presidential runoff on October 15, this time in person, entailed an additional burden for the electoral authorities. Logistically, the CNE had only 46 days to organize the vote abroad for 409,250 Ecuadorians 12, an even shorter period of time than the 94 days it had to organize the early election of August 20.”
