• The INE’s General Council delivered victory certificates to women who had been stripped of wins under parity rules after the Tribunal Electoral ordered their reinstatement.
• The council reissued certificates to 33 judges and magistrates whose disqualifications for failing to meet INE’s 9.0 grade-average threshold were overturned as an overreach.
• Councillors approved a proposed 18 billion-peso budget for 2026 alongside 7.7 billion pesos in public party financing.
• A precautionary reserve of more than 3 billion pesos was set aside to fund a potential public consultation in 2026.
• Ongoing appeals, including a draft annulment tied to illicit vote-guide investigations, remain before the TEPJF’s Sala Superior with an August 28 deadline that could still reshape judicial election outcomes.
