Overview
- INE councilor Uuc-Kib Espadas proposed using two separate ballots to elect majority (relative) and plurinominal (proportional) deputies, and he estimated the measure would cost roughly 200–250 million pesos.
- Morena leaders in the Chamber of Deputies, led by JUCOPO president Ricardo Monreal, publicly rejected the idea as beyond the INE's authority to alter voting rules.
- Kenia López Rabadán and opposition lawmakers have demanded a formal juridical and fiscal analysis to clarify whether the proposal means two distinct votes or only two printed ballots and to assess legal feasibility.
- Espadas defended the change as a revival of a 1980s method that would make proportional deputies more visible to voters and said it could be implemented for the 2027 election if legally allowed.
- If Congress does not rule on the idea, the proposal faces two main hurdles—legislative competence over electoral rules and the need for budget approval from the Chamber of Deputies—so the issue now hinges on formal legal opinions and cost clearance.
