Overview
- The reform reached the constitutional threshold after 20 state congresses ratified it, with a Senate declaration and publication in the federal gazette expected next week.
- The Chamber of Deputies passed the Senate‑modified package by a 343–124 vote with one abstention, backed by Morena, its allies, and Movimiento Ciudadano.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum promoted six headline “wins,” including a ban on re‑election and anti‑nepotism rules, while noting that some of these come from separate reforms.
- Items tied to this package include cutting budgets for state legislatures, reducing the number of municipal councilors, and ending bonuses and private medical insurance for electoral counselors and magistrates.
- After publication, legislators must approve secondary electoral laws before April 30 or call an extraordinary session in May, with Senate leaders expecting the executive to submit the implementing bills.
