Overview
- INE module staff launched a coordinated national stoppage on Monday that closed or limited service at about 750 Módulos de Atención Ciudadana across more than 20 states.
- Workers demand large pay increases — many seek roughly a 60–100% rise to reach two minimum wages — plus predictable Monday–Friday hours, updated equipment, paid viáticos and recognition of seniority.
- The INE offered a 6% salary increase effective January 2027, which employees rejected, and worker representatives are in active but unresolved talks with interim president Blanca Cruz García.
- The action stopped in-person credentialing and other citizen services in multiple states and prompted local reprogramming of appointments, with some protesters threatening roadblocks and repeat stoppages during key registration periods.
- Staffers cite a pending pay-table review since 2014, low take-home pay after deductions and recent audits and UIF inquiries related to ex-president Guadalupe Taddei alongside a reduced 2027 INE budget as factors that heighten pressure on negotiations and election readiness.
