VOICED : Ecuatorianos votan en referendo sobre el futuro de Correa

Ecuador held a referendum called by President Lenín Moreno, which could impact the political future of former ally Rafael Correa. The referendum included a question on banning indefinite re-election, potentially preventing Correa from running in 2021. Voters, especially in indigenous communities, were concerned about mining in protected areas. Moreno, who has become a critic of Correa, accuses him of corruption and mismanagement.
