Sheinbaum Backs Moving Presidential Recall Referendum to 2027, Urges Wide Public Debate

She argues holding it alongside the 2027 midterms would leverage existing election infrastructure to reduce costs.

Overview

  • She called for an open nationwide discussion and cautioned against fast-tracking any change.
  • She argued a 2027 vote would share polling places, ballots, and logistics with the midterms to avoid a separate 2028 exercise and its costs.
  • She dismissed opposition claims that featuring her on a recall ballot would disadvantage their candidates.
  • The timing change has been proposed by deputies and remains under discussion with no final approval reported.
  • She said any recall mechanism for governors depends on each state’s constitution and leaders, noting Oaxaca’s Salomón Jara and Hidalgo’s Julio Menchaca have floated such votes.
