On February 7, Ecuadorians will vote for president among a wide range of options, including a young protégé of former President Rafael Correa, a pro-business conservative, and an indigenous leader. Below you’ll find information on the leading candidates in Ecuador’s presidential election, who were polling above 10 percent as of December 4, according to Cedatos. There are two rounds of voting. If no candidate receives over 50% of the votes, or 40% with a lead of more than 10 points over second place, in the first round, the two leading candidates will compete in a runoff on April 11.

AQ also asked a dozen nonpartisan experts on Ecuador to help us identify where each candidate stands on two spectrums: left wing versus right wing, and nationalist versus globalist. The results are mapped on the charts below. We’ve published the average response, with a caveat: Platforms evolve, and so do candidates.

I don't think that this article provides enough information on the candidates. And it looks like they have people watching the elections.

The Citizen Participation Corporation joined Ecuadorian civil society groups that will work as observers of the general elections, slated for February 7th.

To that end, the organization will deploy 512 observers, of whom 500 are from Ecuador itself and 12 from abroad, in cities such as Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Riobamba, Loja, Ibarra, Macas, Portoviejo and Manta.
