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] Partial results show that 64% of voters voted to approve the new constitution.[2]
President Rafael Correa had initially stated he would resign if the constitution were rejected, but later stated he would finish his term. A poll from May 2008 saw 41% to 31% in favour of the constitution draft.[3] Provisions include the right to healthcare, food, social security, and education as well as emphasize Latin American integration.[4]
If the new constitution is approved, early elections on all levels are likely to be held in early 2009.[5]
The EU sent an election observation team.[6]
The more controversial proposals include allowing a second four-year term for the president and legalising same-sex marriage.[7]
