The National Electoral Council ordered that the campaign be from August 8 to 17. Applicants are already traveling the country to spread their proposals.
The National Electoral Council (CNE) declared closed the registration phase of presidential candidates that will take part in the early elections on August 20, 2023. This stage ended at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, June 13.
Eight candidates are fighting for the Presidency of the Republic to complete the 2023-2025 period after the head of state, Guillermo Lasso, chose to dissolve the National Assembly and call early elections.
This is the order in which the presidential formulas accepted the pre-candidacies in the CNE prior to the registration stage, most of which await to be qualified by the electoral body after verification of compliance with the requirements.
Several of the disqualifications to be a candidate for a popularly elected dignity are determined in article 113 of the Constitution and 96 of the Code of Democracy. One of them is not owing alimony, not having contracts with the State, those who have received an enforceable conviction for crimes punishable by imprisonment, or for bribery, illicit or embezzlement, etc.

Deadlines in the CNE
Once the pairings have been registered, the CNE has one day to notify the other political organizations about the registered pre-candidates. Then a two-day stage will be opened so that, if they consider, they object to those pre-candidacies.
If there are no objections, after this deadline, the CNE will qualify the candidacy and it will be final.
If there are objections, the CNE will have one day to notify the challenged candidate, who must respond to the objection within two days. In two additional days, the CNE must decide whether or not to proceed.
The CNE’s decision may be appealed before the Electoral Dispute Tribunal (TCE) within three days after the notification is issued.
The CNE will have three days to send the file to this body, and the court 15 days to resolve.
In the event that a pre-candidacy is not qualified, the political organization will have a maximum period of 48 hours to replace it.
According to the previous electoral calendar, the CNE will present the definitive list of qualified candidates on Sunday, August 6.
