What is the most significant impact of Ecuadorian diaspora's voting patterns on the outcome of the presidential election, given the historically low voter turnout among emigrants?

Ecuador's presidential election is highly contested, with significant engagement from the large Ecuadorian diaspora in Madrid. This group represents 16% of the foreign vote and their participation is crucial given the tight race. Voter turnout among Ecuadorians abroad has historically been low, with abstention rates exceeding 60% in previous elections.
