Overview

• By unanimous vote, the TEPJF’s Sala Superior confirmed that associations seeking national party status cannot accept donations via online card payments, point‑of‑sale terminals or mobile apps.
• The ruling affirms INE financing guidelines approved in February 2025, which were not previously challenged and now govern current party‑registration efforts.
• Personas Sumando 2025 A.C., which promotes the aspiring party Somos México, lost its challenge after the court found its donation portal’s contributor data could not be verified.
• The decision relies on precedent from case SUP-RAP-56-2020 that systems like CLIP do not guarantee identifying the true donor or tracing the origin of funds.
• The court noted that payment processors may secure transactions yet still fail to confirm who actually donates, reinforcing fiscal oversight and donor identification requirements for new parties.
