Overview
- The Commission on OPL Liaison advanced only name lists without settled recommendations, sending the unresolved designations to the General Council where eight of 11 votes are required.
- The pending decision covers four presidencies and 40 council seats in 17 states, drawn from a seven‑month process that narrowed 1,916 applicants to 332 finalists after exams, essays and interviews.
- INE councilor Dania Ravel accused commission chair Jorge Montaño of discarding prior agreements and profile analysis, while Montaño rejected claims of quotas and said necessary consensus work was done.
- Party representatives warned of perceived 'quota' bargaining and urged counselors to secure the qualified majority to avoid leaving vacancies if consensus fails.
- Red Cívica and RENACEDI delivered reform proposals urging the retention and strengthening of OPLs, arguing the INE lacks the staffing and infrastructure to run all local elections if OPLs were eliminated.
