Survey
Indigenous and Women's Attitudes Toward Elections (2002) (Spanish)
En los últimos años los sistemas políticos han sido testigos de importantes reformas en sus sistemas y procedimientos electorales, las que persiguen la profundización de la democracia, por la vía de promover la universalidad y el libre acceso al voto. El Ecuador está en esta línea, pero sus peculiares condiciones sociales, culturales y políticas, todavía ocasionan distorsiones en la expresión democrática. La composición étnica del país es uno de los factores más importantes de diferenciación social a su interior. La incorporación de los indígenas a la vida política formal es relativamente reciente, y su participación ha ido incrementándose hasta llegar a niveles de alta influencia en la ocupación de cargos públicos y la formación de alianzas de poder.
