Citizen Selection Committees
The Citizen Selection Committees are spaces comprised of representatives of the State and society, who have the responsibility to carry out the process of selection and appointment of public powers in Ecuador. They are in charge of carrying out, in the corresponding cases, the public competition for opposition and merit with nomination, oversight and the right to challenge citizens. The citizen selection committees shall be composed of one delegate for each State Function and an equal number of representatives by social organizations and citizens, chosen in a public lottery from among those who stand for and meet the requirements determined by the Council and the law. Candidates will be subject to public scrutiny and public challenge. The commissions will be directed by one of the representatives of the citizenry, who will have a vote, and its sessions will be public.
