Overview

  • The presidential commission is collecting views through regional hearings and an open web portal that will publish submitted proposals and critiques.
  • The consultation invites participation from citizens, civil and social groups, parties, indigenous communities, academics, migrant organizations, and electoral authorities, with opponents and former officials also welcome.
  • Sheinbaum urged the public to weigh in on whether to keep party-list (plurinominal) seats in future elections.
  • Pablo Gómez, who leads the commission, said conclusions will be delivered to the president in January 2026 after the consultation phase.
  • Sheinbaum defended a people-first framing of the process and criticized some former electoral chiefs, while reiterating that expert voices may participate alongside the broader public.
