INE Delivers Civil and Local Proposals to Reform Commission, Sets Jan. 12 Timeline for Its Own Plan

The process now shifts from channeling outside input to drafting an institutional proposal for early January.

Overview

  • The INE president, Guadalupe Taddei, delivered a compilation of proposals from civil organizations and state electoral institutes at the commission’s site on Barcelona 32, where chair Pablo Gómez received the document.
  • INE councilors begin a formal discussion on Tuesday to shape a draft that reflects each councilor’s views rather than forcing a single consensus text.
  • The electoral authority underscores its role as a facilitator that forwards proposals to the appropriate branches without presenting a legislative initiative or replacing executive or legislative powers.
  • The submissions call for acknowledging the contributions of local electoral bodies (Oples) and for assessing their continued place in the national electoral system.
  • A previously leaked internal draft caused friction, which Taddei characterized as a normal institutional error, with dialogue continuing as councilors weigh ideas raised by stakeholders such as mandatory voting.
