Overview
- The Chamber’s Constitutional Points Commission scheduled a Monday, Nov. 10 session to vote the draft and indicated it could reach the full Chamber the next day, according to the parliamentary Gazette.
- The Morena-backed proposal would amend Article 35 to hold the presidential revocation the same day as the 2027 midterm elections and move popular consultations to the first Sunday of June.
- The draft keeps the 40% turnout requirement for binding results and revises wording to refer to “the holder of the Presidency” as part of inclusive language updates.
- The measure adjusts the window to request a revocation so the exercise could be solicited during the six months before the conclusion of the third year of the term.
- Morena argues the alignment would boost participation, save resources, and streamline INE operations, while PRI leader Rubén Moreira condemns it as a tactic to advantage the ruling party in 2027.
