INE Delivers 241-Point Plan as Sheinbaum Prepares Electoral Reform for Congress

Legislative review is slated to start Feb. 1 with Morena needing a two‑thirds majority for a constitutional overhaul.

Overview

  • Mexico’s electoral institute handed a 241‑proposal package to the Presidential Commission, including a call to move the 2027 judicial election to mid‑September.
  • The plan seeks stronger fiscal oversight to track campaign funds, including virtual assets, and proposes consequences for authorities that obstruct audits.
  • INE recommends that major digital platforms maintain offices in Mexico and that the institute gain clear authority to scrutinize online political advertising and spending.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum convened senior officials and Morena leaders at Palacio Nacional to finalize the executive initiative expected to reach Congress in the coming days.
  • Key executive ideas under discussion include cutting proportional representation seats, reducing public party financing, and restructuring or dissolving local electoral bodies, positions that face resistance from PVEM and PT.
