Overview
- The INE’s package urges moving the 2027 judicial election out of the midterm calendar to ease logistics, with September or the last Sunday of October cited in proposals.
- It seeks stronger fiscal oversight by lifting banking, fiduciary, fiscal and ministerial secrecy during investigations and by sanctioning agencies that withhold information, alongside AI tools and rules for digital platforms and virtual assets.
- The document backs preserving proportional representation with tighter seat‑to‑vote alignment and reinforces citizen-run voting and the professional electoral service.
- Commission head Pablo Gómez said an administrative body cannot be autonomous, rejected tying the INE budget to GDP, and indicated openness to changes on oversight and the 2027 judicial vote’s timing.
- The commission plans to present advances to Sheinbaum on Jan. 14 as the executive readies a draft for Congress in the coming weeks, with a February–March window discussed for debate.
