Overview

  • Nine of the 11 INE councilors handed a 241-proposal package to the Presidential Commission led by Pablo Gómez for the government's electoral reform push.
  • Gómez argued the INE should not retain autonomous legal status while insisting it must remain independent in its rulings.
  • He rejected the INE’s request to index its budget to GDP and said the government does not want councilors or electoral magistrates controlled by any body.
  • Gómez said the proposals will be analyzed and did not rule out deferring the 2027 judicial election date within the same year, with a draft set to go to President Sheinbaum this week and legislative review expected to start shortly.
  • INE’s plan urges exploring electronic and internet voting, stronger fiscal oversight with digital tools such as AI, and guaranteed resources, while tensions surfaced as two councilors, Claudia Zavala and Dania Ravel, skipped the meeting and Gómez said the reform will not be built on political consensus.
