| description | Fact-checking is key in the framework of electoral processes, political discourse has never been so exposedas it is today to public scrutiny and the possibility of being denied live and in a massive way. Thisresearch focuses on the fact-checking projects in Ecuador and Spain, and their role in the elections ofboth countries in March and April 2019, respectively.The most relevant publications from both projects on Twitter were analyzed, the aim was to identify the main rumors that were spread and subject to verification, as well as the politicians about whom the most rumors were spread. The most relevant results it is evident that the immigration issue and false declarations by candidates were the main topics of the fake news in both countries, and that the lies about certain candidates did not decisively affect the results of the elections.

La verificación de hechos es clave en el marco de procesos electorales, el discurso político nunca estuvotan expuesto como hoy al escrutinio público y a la posibilidad de ser desmentido en vivo y de formamasiva. Esta investigación se enfoca en los proyectos de verificación informativa de Ecuador y España,y en su rol en las elecciones de ambos países en marzo y abril de 2019, respectivamente.Se analizaron las publicaciones más relevantes de ambos proyectos en Twitter con el objetivo de identificarlos principales rumores difundidos y sometidos a verificación, así como los políticos sobre los cuálesse difundió la mayor cantidad de rumores.Los resultados más relevantes muestran que las declaraciones falsas de candidatos y la migración fueron lostemas principales de las fake news en ambos países, y que las mentiras en torno a determinados candidatosno afectó de modo determinante los resultados de las elecciones. Del mismo modo se evidenció que existeuna marcada desigualdad en la difusión de la información verificada en ambos países, puesto que estas noreflejan la misma intensidad en cuanto a la producción de desmentidos, así como a la difusión de estos.
