Overview
- Morena and its PT and PVEM partners finished a five-day registration window on Saturday, June 27, recording 277 aspirants with 123 in-person and 154 online entries.
- Party leaders said the next step is document validation followed by recognition surveys to cut lists and then household (door-to-door) mirror surveys planned to start in late July.
- High-profile, competitive contests opened in states that draw close attention to 2027: Sinaloa drew 12 aspirants including Senator Imelda Castro and PVEM deputy Ricardo Madrid, Tlaxcala drew eight including Ana Lilia Rivera, and Zacatecas drew six including Ulises Mejía.
- The Coordinaciones Estatales are internal posts that task winners with territory building and typically precede formal gubernatorial nominations, so the survey results will effectively shape who becomes a coalition front-runner.
- Morena set procedural rules to limit early campaigning including separation from some public posts, submission of two proposed polling firms and a pledge to accept results, and these rules will govern the validation and survey phases.
