A constitutional referendum will be held in Ecuador on 28 September 2008 to ratify or reject the constitution drafted by the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly elected in 2007.[1]
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.[2] Provisions include the right to healthcare, food, social security, and education as well as emphasize Latin American integration.[3]
If the new constitution is approved, early elections on all levels are likely to be held in early 2009.[4]
