Overview
- ANCCIEM formally delivered its electoral reform proposal to the INE, advocating the permanence and strengthening of state OPLES as pillars of federalism and accountability.
- INE president Guadalupe Taddei, through a statement read by Pedro Pablo Chirinos, committed to present the document to the Presidential Commission for Electoral Reform and to the legislature.
- Contralores argued that centralizing or eliminating OPLES would not remove responsibilities, would transfer them without sufficient resources, and could weaken institutional development in the states.
- Officials noted that after the elimination of INAI and 32 local transparency bodies, OPLES’ internal control units are now handling information requests related to party spending without added staffing or budget.
- The proposal emphasizes budget evaluation, clear transparency mechanisms, stronger autonomous OICs within OPLES, and preserving coordination between the INE and local authorities to keep elections close to communities.
