INE also approved 7.93 million pesos to build a participation database with 300 temporary hires.

Overview

  • Flood-affected residents can request a reprint of their voter credential at the nearest INE module using fingerprint verification.
  • Eligibility requires having previously held a valid credential and having a digitized birth certificate in the electoral roll.
  • Applicants without a digitized record must present their birth certificate or obtain it via the Civil Registry website to complete the request.
  • Federal authorities report response operations in Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosí and Querétaro, with 66 deaths and 75 people unlocated still being verified.
  • In an urgent session, the INE's executive board approved a 7,932,286-peso budget modification to create a census-level participation database and temporarily hire 300 data-entry workers.
