Overview

• The INE delivered certificates of majority to 45 winners—26 circuit magistrates and 19 district judges—after the TEPJF ruled the electoral body lacked authority to disqualify them based on academic averages.
• The Sala Superior determined that verifying minimum grade requirements belongs to the Comités de Evaluación, prompting the reversal of INE vacancy declarations and some parity-related adjustments.
• INE councilors Dania Ravel, Carla Humphrey, Claudia Zavala and Martín Faz condemned what they called contradictory tribunal criteria and unclear committee vetting, as president Guadalupe Taddei urged channeling fixes into electoral reform work.
• Separately, magistrates Reyes Rodríguez and Janine Otálora circulated projects to annul the SCJN ministers’ election, citing 3,188 printed voting guides and hundreds of digital items as prohibited propaganda and possible illicit financing, and urging an extraordinary election with a referral to the electoral prosecutor.
• A three-vote bloc led by presiding magistrate Mónica Soto has previously found the 'acordeones' record insufficient, making approval of annulment unlikely as plenary consideration remains pending, with one report indicating a possible Thursday discussion.
