Description
Summary:The Constitution of Ecuador of 2008 established new rights for migrants, among which political rights stand out. This paper begins with a theoretical reflection on political transnationalism and state anthropology to examine the behavior of the migrant vote in the last decade and the profile of Ecuadorians who go to the polls. With data from the National Electoral Council and a multisite survey conducted as part of this research in several cities around the world during the presidential elections of 2017, the text supports the thesis that the vote from abroad is a central element for observing the deployment and reconfiguration of the transnational State.
