Overview

  • At their first meeting in the Interior Ministry, both sides agreed to install a standing working group to structure and track the reform’s technical agenda.
  • INE committed to deliver a listado de temas to launch specialized mesas de trabajo on logistics, fiscalization, technology, legal and financial autonomy, transparency and political communication.
  • Commission president Pablo Gómez said the effort is in critique and analysis rather than drafting, with an online portal and audiencias públicas to open at Segob.
  • Subjects discussed included concurrence of ordinary and judicial polls, electoral calendars, civic education, personnel specialization, voting methods and oversight mechanisms.
  • Political lines are emerging as the PVEM said it will oppose eliminating plurinominal seats or reducing party financing, while one INE counselor cited a reported four‑month window to shape a proposal as Congress reconvenes on September 1.
