Overview
- The INE said a countrywide shift to internet voting is not feasible at this time because the modality is not authorized in the current legal framework.
- The institute reported that necessary operational, registral and technological conditions remain insufficient for a secure national rollout.
- Following a TEPJF ruling, the INE is analyzing a limited advance-voting pilot in Coahuila for people with disabilities and their primary caregivers in the 2025–2026 local election.
- The proposed test would adapt the online system already used by Mexican citizens living abroad to support accessibility.
- PAN and PRI, with similar concerns from Morena and counselor Uuc-Kib Espadas, warned of legal uncertainty, risks to vote secrecy and potential exclusion in areas with poor connectivity.
