Ecuadorians are voting in a runoff election for a new President amid rising violence in the country. Both candidates, Daniel Noboa and Luisa González, have limited governing experience. The main concern for voters is safety, with drug-related violence increasing over the past three years. The winner of the election will serve for only 15 months, completing the term of the current president, Guillermo Lasso, who dissolved the National Assembly and faced impeachment proceedings. Violent deaths have reached record levels under Lasso's watch, tied to cocaine trafficking and the involvement of international cartels. Voting is mandatory, and results are expected Sunday evening.
