INE Chief to Join Electoral Reform Hearings as Commission Hits 112 Written Proposals

The hearings have become a forum for defending electoral autonomy and local bodies against centralizing plans.

Overview

  • The Presidential Commission reported 112 written submissions nearly three weeks into its nationwide consultation on electoral changes.
  • INE president Guadalupe Taddei requested to participate in the forums, with the commission site indicating an appearance in Sonora and separate reporting listing a Mexico City session on October 8 at 17:00.
  • Taddei has argued for preserving INE independence, retaining state OPLEs, and rejecting popular elections of electoral councilors as unworkable for an autonomous body.
  • The process includes public hearings in every state and an online portal for documents, though reporters noted Taddei’s proposal link was posted without content at the time of publication.
  • A first draft of the reform is targeted for January 2026, and President Claudia Sheinbaum has said she will file written suggestions that include eliminating legislative fuero.
