Overview

  • The Presidential Commission for Electoral Reform and the INE agreed to a permanent technical working group and a prioritized list of topics after their first meeting at the Interior Ministry.
  • INE president Guadalupe Taddei said the institute will provide technical and operational data to ensure any reform can be implemented securely, with autonomy flagged as a core concern.
  • The agenda to study includes election organization, timing and calendars, concurrence of ordinary and judicial votes, staff specialization, fiscalization, new technologies, legal and financial autonomy, transparency and the political communication model.
  • Separately, the TEPJF’s Sala Superior voted 3–2 to validate the election of five magistrates to the new Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial, rejecting claims that alleged voter guides were proven used or determinative and declining to order an INE probe.
  • Reporting points to an internal dispute over who will preside over the renewed electoral tribunal when new members take office on September 1, with the Senate potentially needed to resolve the question.
