The National Electoral Council reported that nine out of the eleven proposals put forward by the government were likely to pass, including allowing the military to patrol with police and granting certain Ecuadorians permission to carry weapons.

The good news for Noboa continued with the arrest of a notorious alleged gang leader.

The referendum results indicated that 72% of the public approved of military-police patrols and 65% supported the carrying of weapons under certain conditions.

Ecuador's constitutional ban on extraditing citizens may be lifted if two proposed measures receive public approval in a recent vote.

The exact timeline for implementation is uncertain.

Additionally, two other security-related proposals, including harsher prison sentences and a permanent armed forces presence in prisons, are likely to be approved without constitutional changes and only require National Assembly agreement.

The text suggests that two proposed measures may not be accepted by the public.

The first measure involves allowing workers to be hired on an hourly basis.

The second measure pertains to recognizing international arbitration for resolving investment disputes.

Both measures could face opposition from the public.
