Mexican Senate Requests INE Documentation to Fill 12 Judicial Vacancies

The step would enable the chamber to swear in same‑gender runners‑up required by law following commissions to new regional panels.

Overview

  • The Senate formally asked the electoral institute to disclose the 12 same‑gender second‑place candidates and to deliver their official certificates.
  • The request aims to allow the chamber to conduct the oath of office in line with the Federal Judiciary’s organic law.
  • Senate leaders reported an official notice from the Judicial Administration Body detailing the commissioning of 12 magistrates to Regional Panels under Article 38 and a Seventh Transitory provision.
  • The panels are composed of three circuit magistrates selected from top vote‑getters for three‑year terms with the possibility of one renewal.
  • The rule requires that vacancies created by those commissions be filled by second‑place candidates of the same gender, and a separate 90‑day leave request by a Yucatán penal judge was referred to the Senate’s Justice Commission.
