INE Complaints Panel Seeks 34.3 Million Pesos in Fines Over Improper Party Affiliations

Eight cases were set aside due to presumed lapse of sanctioning authority, prompting referrals for review of delays.

Overview

  • The Commission approved draft resolutions for 129 sanctioning procedures from 2021 to 2025 that must still be adopted by the INE General Council.
  • Of 897 alleged improper-affiliation cases, 24 complainants withdrew, 561 showed no infraction, and 310 were accredited as violations involving misuse of personal data or lack of valid consent.
  • The proposed fines total about 34.3 million pesos against parties that failed to present valid consent records or showed inconsistencies.
  • Specific rulings include one dismissal and one economic sanction tied to the Partido del Trabajo for the improper registration of polling-station representatives.
  • Movimiento Ciudadano faces a proposed public admonition for omitting timely gender information for candidacies in Mexico City, Jalisco, Yucatán, Tabasco, and Veracruz, and the UTCE was credited with reducing the case backlog.
