Ecuador’s constitutional court has rejected a recent question addressing the reopening of casinos, which was meant to be included in a December referendum.
On 5 August, Ecuador President Daniel Noboa laid out seven questions to be included in the upcoming referendum. The final one focused on whether citizens would support the reopening of land-based casinos.
Ecuador is somewhat unusual in that the country holds referenda relatively frequently. Questions can focus on a wide array of topics.
The referenda give the public a chance to be involved in key decisions on topics including defence, finance and criminal law.
