On 11 April, the people of Ecuador will cast their final vote to elect the country’s next president. But as we approach the second round of Ecuador’s presidential election, the attacks on its electoral process are escalating rapidly.

In the last month alone, we have seen calls for a military coup published in Ecuador’s most popular newspapers, efforts to disqualify candidates with false accusations of fraud, and an attempt to confiscate its voting databases for an illegal ‘audit’ of the first-round votes.

These tactics are designed not only to challenge the democratic institutions of Ecuador, but also for export to authoritarian actors around the world.
