Overview

• The INE delivered constancias de mayoría to 45 previously disqualified winners—26 for magistraturas de circuito and 19 for juzgados de distrito—complying with TEPJF orders.
• TEPJF invalidated INE agreements that had declared vacancies for failing academic averages, holding that only Comités de Evaluación have the legal power to verify eligibility.
• Of the reinstatements, 28 relate to the nine-in-specialty requirement, four to the eight-in-licenciatura standard, 12 to parity adjustments, and one to a case of votos inviables.
• Councillors including Carla Humphrey, Dania Ravel, Claudia Zavala and Martín Faz criticized the tribunal’s criteria as contradictory and warned of uncertainty over constitutional compliance.
• INE president Guadalupe Taddei called for clarifying attributions and methodologies in the coming reform, as the institute also advanced its 2026 plan with a roughly 25.96 billion peso request, including 15.1 billion for operations, 3.12 billion precautionary for a possible Consulta Popular, and 7.74 billion for parties.
