Overview
- The INE formally handed its institutional proposals to the presidential reform commission, with the only unanimous item calling for rescheduling the 2027 judicial election to mid-September.
- Core measures seek tougher campaign finance oversight with binding cooperation and penalties for authorities that withhold information, new rules for virtual assets, and requirements for major platforms to maintain offices in Mexico subject to fiscal review.
- The package defends proportional representation seats and state OPLEs and proposes constitutional safeguards to prevent investigations of electoral counselors over the content of their votes.
- A fast-tracked internal vote consolidated about 240 proposals from more than 300 ideas, with some dissent over procedure and an annex of roughly 100 minority items forwarded for possible consideration.
- Civil-society groups urged postponing implementation until after 2027, and Sheinbaum noted that shifting the judicial vote to another year would require constitutional changes.
