The level of democracy in the Ecuador fell from 2006 to 2013, and remained around 0.3 until 2016. This was the period of the rule of President Rafael Correa (2007-2017), who removed executive constraints including a presidential term limit. His predecessor, LenĂn Moreno, then reintroduced the term limit and strengthened the ability of the legislative and judiciary to check the executive, resulting in improving levels of democracy.

The Liberal Democracy Index by the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Project measures the level of democracy in a country based on six dimensions: 1) the extent of suffrage, 2) the freedom and fairness of elections, 3) freedoms of association and expression, 4) individual and minority rights, 5) equality before the law, and 6) executive constraints. Countries are given scores from zero to one, where one indicates perfect level of liberal democracy.
