INE Panel Approves 2027 Digital Roadmap, Including Digital Voter Credential

The institute will seek late‑September sign‑off on a work route with the Digital Transformation Agency, with privacy rules for a biometric CURP still pending.

Overview

  • The INE’s Registro Federal de Electores commission approved a roadmap to implement a digital transformation targeting 2027.
  • The plan includes seven systems: a complementary digital voter credential, online pre‑registration, home autogeoreferencing, registration in citizen‑attention modules, an INE appointment system, early‑vote registration, and processing of requests for Mexicans abroad.
  • Federal authorities and the INE are preparing a critical path toward a collaboration agreement with the Agencia de Transformación Digital.
  • The commission is reviewing how a biometric CURP could interact with the electoral roll, with a final report contingent on forthcoming secondary regulations.
  • Commission president Carla Humprhey said a document for valuation and possible approval of the implementation route will be presented in the last week of September, as opposition parties pressed for strict protection of personal data.
