INE Delivers Electoral Reform Draft to Presidential Panel as Errors and Dissent Surface

Morena says the initiative will only move forward with PT and PVEM support.

Overview

  • Only nine of 11 INE councilors attended the handover, as Claudia Zavala and Dania Ravel abstained and cited rushed preparation and a final draft sent just 45 minutes before the event.
  • INE said it submitted 241 proposals, but the file listed 205 with repetitions and errors, an approved sanction on influencers reportedly disappeared, and a timeline mistake on the judicial election was later acknowledged by a councilor.
  • Core ideas include tax incentives for citizens who serve as polling-station officials, validation of student participation as social service or internships, and advance voting for those officials.
  • The draft calls for tighter vetting to block social program operators and party militants from election training roles and would transfer the winding down of extinct parties’ assets to the federal agency Indep.
  • Morena’s Ricardo Monreal underscored that allied-party backing is essential and noted a private meeting at Palacio Nacional to set next steps, as the PVEM signaled conditional openness to party-budget cuts and PT figures expressed doubts about eliminating proportional seats or deep funding reductions.
