2007 Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly election

Alberto Acosta PAIS Alliance Constituent Assembly elections were held in Ecuador on 30 September 2007.

A Constituent Assembly was established following an April referendum on doing so.

A total of 130 delegates were elected; 24 members from national lists, 100 elected from provincial constituencies and six for overseas votes.

[2] Although polls indicated that Correa's PAIS Alliance would win a plurality in the election, but not a majority,[3] PAIS won a landslide victory, winning 80 of the 130 seats, giving the party the power to dismiss Congress and make the substantial constitutional reforms for which Correa has been calling.

[5] The Constituent Assembly was to be set up on 31 October 2007 and have six months (with a possible extension of two months) to draft a new constitution, which will then have to be ratified in a referendum.
