QUITO (Reuters) - Ecuadoreans will be asked to weigh in on an expanded list of questions proposed by President Daniel Noboa, including a push to allow for extraditions of citizens accused of crimes in other countries, according to a government statement on Monday.

Early last year, voters rejected a similar attempt at undoing the South American country's ban on extraditions.
