Oaxaca Advances Revocation Vote Preparations After First Public Forum

The electoral authority is shifting from discussion to logistics to ensure an informed, trustworthy vote.

Overview

  • The state electoral institute held the first discussion forum on January 11, presenting arguments for and against and inviting citizens to participate in the January 25 consultation.
  • A second forum is scheduled for January 18 at 6 p.m., with live broadcasts on the institute’s official platforms and allied media.
  • In an urgent session, the institute approved procedures to verify security features for ballots, tally documents, and the quality of indelible ink.
  • The ballot will ask whether Governor Salomón Jara Cruz should have his mandate revoked for loss of trust or continue in office until the end of his term.
  • Organizers offered interpretation in Mexican Sign Language and in Mixteco, Mazateco, Zapoteco, and Mixe, and the process carries an estimated cost of about 218 million pesos as the first consultation of its kind in the country.
