A constitutional referendum was held in Ecuador on 28 September 2008 to ratify or reject the constitution drafted by the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly elected in 2007.[1] The new constitution was approved by 69% of voters.

Following its approval, early elections were held in April 2009.[2]

Background

President Rafael Correa had initially stated he would resign if the constitution were rejected, but later stated he would finish his term.

A Cedatos/Gallup poll from May 2008 saw 41% in favour of the constitution draft, 31% against, and 28% not sure.[3] Another Cedatos/Gallup poll from June 2008 showed 37% support.[4]

Provisions include the right to healthcare, food, social security, and education as well as an emphasis on Latin American integration. The more controversial proposals include allowing a second four-year term for the president and legalising civil unions.[5]

Conduct

The EU sent an election observation team.[6]
