Demonstrators and the Bolivian opposition had accused electoral authorities of manipulating the vote count in favor of Morales, the country's longtime socialist leader. Morales denied the allegations, but declared himself the winner.
Morales resigned just hours after he promised new elections would be held and the country's electoral council replaced following a report by the Organization of American States (OAS).
A series of alleged irregularities -- including failures in the chain of custody for ballots, alteration and forgery of electoral material, redirection of data to unauthorized servers and data manipulation -- impacted the official vote count, the OAS said.
"The manipulations to the computer system (used in the elections) are of such magnitude that they must be deeply investigated by the Bolivian State to get to the bottom (of this issue)," the OAS said, in part.
The organization recommended new elections be held under the umbrella of "new electoral authorities in order to offer a reliable process."
A number of government party officials also resigned Sunday.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo commended the OAS audit and said the US supported the new election and the installation of a new electoral council.
"In order to to restore credibility to the electoral process, all government officials and officials of any political organizations implicated in the flawed October 20 elections should step aside from the electoral process," Pompeo said.
Morales was one of the longest-serving heads of state in Latin America, is Bolivia's first indigenous president. He won his first election with a campaign that promised a government focused on the needs of the country's poor. But he was also accused of using the system to concentrate power.
