But on Correa's proposal to set up a temporary judicial council to restructure Ecuador's justice system, 44.55 percent of voters said "no" and 44.28 percent voted "yes", the council said.

On Correa's proposal to create a special council to regulate the contents of the Ecuadorian press, 43.92 percent voted against it while 43.22 percent voted for, the council said.

Correa's political opposition has run an intense campaign to reject the president's reform proposals, saying it threatens to undermine Ecuador's judicial system and will extend virtually absolute power to Correa.

Opposition lawmakers have called on international election observers to monitor the remaining vote counting process closely.

Exit polls released at the end of voting on Saturday gave the "yes" side up to as much as 62 percent of the vote, a result which Correa immediately after the release declared as a "historic victory" for his government.

Ecuador Saturday held a referendum on some ten reform proposals raised by Correa.
