Overview
- The INE's Consejo General installed the Comisión de Verificación de Integridad en Candidaturas as a permanent body on Monday and named Arturo Chávez López president with Norma De La Cruz Magaña and Uuc‑kib Espadas Ancona as members.
- The commission will act only as a liaison that sends voluntary candidate lists to participating authorities and then transmits the agencies' analyses back to parties without accessing sensitive data itself.
- Reviews can cover people from precandidacy through final registrations, include substitutes, and allow direct requests to state prosecutors and federal bodies such as the SSPC, SHCP, SAT, FGR, CNI, UIF and CNBV.
- The process will be private and stressed legal safeguards: presumption of innocence, strict confidentiality, and the rule that returned information is advisory and does not alter a person's political rights.
- The commission implements a transitory article of the recent electoral reform requiring an integrity mechanism before the 2027 election and could reduce criminal infiltration but will depend on party participation and how agencies handle sensitive data.
