Overview
- INE’s Electoral Organization Commission unanimously approved a technical document and forwarded it to the General Council for a decision.
- The proposed 2026 pilot is confined to Coahuila and limited to people in a state of postración and their primary caregivers as an advance‑voting option.
- The commission’s legal‑technical review found generalized internet voting is not currently viable, citing gaps in law, authentication and ballot secrecy that would require reforms.
- Representatives of Morena and PRI urged caution over security, secrecy and legal certainty, with the PRI asking that any pilot be non‑binding.
- Advisers called for independent audits and potential biometric checks such as live‑photo or facial recognition, and cited the small target electorate to justify a low‑scale, evidence‑gathering trial.
