Ecuadorians voted for a new President in a special election that was heavily guarded due to recent violence and the assassination of a presidential candidate. The election was described as "peaceful and safe" by the country's top electoral authority. The electronic voting system used by Ecuadorians living abroad was targeted by cyberattacks from China, India, and Bangladesh, but the incidents did not affect vote counts. Early results showed Luisa González ahead of the other candidates. The election was called after President Guillermo Lasso dissolved the National Assembly to avoid impeachment. The winner will govern for less than two years.
