Ecuador
In 2004, Ecuador marked 25 years of civilian governance, but this period has been subject to much political instability. There have been seven presidents since 1996 and increased demonstrations have indicated significant popular discontent with the economic and political progress of the country. A second round of elections on the 26th of November will decide the next President of the country.

Election Disputes
Election dispute is the climax of the election process. The legitimacy of the election process depends in part on the objectivity and impartiality of dispute resolution mechanisms.
