Ecuador election workers urged to collect pay by July 2

Ecuador's National Electoral Council (CNE) has issued an urgent reminder to citizens who served as members of the Electoral Boards (MJRV) during the 2025 referendum and popular consultation. A significant number of these individuals have yet to collect their financial compensation for their civic duty. The deadline to claim these payments is fast approaching, set for Thursday, July 2, 2026.

As of Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the CNE reported that out of 129,435 individuals who served on the electoral boards, 36,053 have not yet received their payment. While the majority, 93,382 citizens, have successfully collected their compensation, the CNE is now focused on ensuring the remaining members receive their due recognition.

To facilitate the process, the CNE has partnered with state financial institutions. Members of the electoral boards who have not yet collected their payment are instructed to visit authorized branches of Banco del Pacífico or BanEcuador. This measure aims to provide accessible avenues for citizens to complete the payment process before the July 2 deadline.

The compensation is part of the CNE's commitment to acknowledging and valuing the civic participation that ensures the smooth functioning of democratic processes in Ecuador. The council emphasizes the importance of this recognition for those who contributed to the electoral system.
