Desirable - NGOs and Government Institutions during the entire campaign period should increase their efforts to promote voter information and civic education features, both in Ecuador and in host countries with important Ecuadorian diaspora (OCV).
Addressed to:
1. NGOs.
2. Government institutions.
Possible Improvements Suggested:
1. Elaborate a well planned action plan, involving more local NGOs and associations, adapt local action plans with PEBs according to regional necessities, diversify communication tools, use indigenous languages, optimize timeline of voter education campaign for the young (16 – 18) according to school holidays in order to increase outreach.
2. Out-of-country voting: Give more importance and emphasis to out-of - country electorate and their information needs. Encourage participation by informing them that their participation will have no consequence on their status in host country. (Confidentiality of personal data).
EC Support/Projects - EC should be ready to offer public information and civic education expertise if requested by Ecuadorian authorities, or support local NGO’s involved in these activities.
Timeline - In time for next electoral cycle.
