Latin America register

Ecuador · Manabí

Sosote / Rocafuerte / Manabí — Parish board

The ordinary register is reconciled: 23 prefectures, 222 mayoralties, 222 municipal councils and 825 parish boards match the signed July 2026 call/list and August CNE codes. Borbón’s mayor/council and Miss Ecuador’s parish board are separate March 2027 first contests. Historical boundary comparability and some new-parish final returns remain open. Calacalí has final completion evidence but only preliminary rounded shares and secondary seat affiliations. Six first-election party vectors and elected rosters are recovered for the four 2024 parishes and Sevilla Don Bosco in 2025. Four small ballot-total discrepancies remain explicit. Shuar Pastaza remains preliminary. Fifteen July/August parish electorate differences are retained as dated observations.

Historical competition

Competitiveness index for a verified actual-event sequence withheld. Actual-event and/or comparability review incomplete.

Current government and control: Unverified. Local government-risk forecast: unassessed.

Polling: no vetted current evidence included for this office.

Only one earlier election exists for this new office; two older cycles are structurally inapplicable. Official post-election party votes and elected statistics are now imported. Predecessor parish/canton votes are not assigned to the new office. The 29 November 2026 ordinary cohort is reconciled to the CNE register. August precinct-distribution electors are a dated administrative count, not historical turnout or votes. Territorial boundary comparability, intervening outcomes and current control remain separate checks. The 10 July spending resolution lists 3,944 electors; the 11 August distribution lists 3,938. Both are retained. The first-election statistical return and elected roster are imported. Its ballot-total and dataset-code notes remain visible. Later replacements and current control still require dated verification.

Ordinary election register

Ordinary parish contest verified: signed July 2026 list matched to August CNE codes. CNE province / canton / parish codes: 13 / 465 / 4750.

The precinct distribution dated 11 August 2026 assigns 3,938 electors to this territory. CNE distribution. This administrative count is separate from historical votes and turnout. Territorial totals overlap across office types.

The signed 10 July resolution lists 3,944 electors and a list spending limit of US$4,000.00. The published limit remains tied to its July count. Signed resolution, page 37.

Electoral event evidence

Separate source records can belong to the same election cycle. Recounts, runoffs and void returns do not create additional cycles.
