Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the Executive will file the initiative in early February and voiced confidence that PT and the Green Party will support it, despite public reservations from a PVEM senator.
- Sheinbaum outlined goals that include lowering election costs, letting citizens determine proportional-seat allocations, expanding participatory mechanisms, improving diaspora representation, and tightening oversight of campaign financing.
- A commission led by Pablo Gómez presented draft scenarios at Palacio Nacional, with reporting pointing to cutting roughly 100 proportional deputy seats, eliminating 32 Senate plurinominals, and shrinking the Senate from 128 to 96.
- Press accounts describe prospective reductions to INE and party funding—especially in non-election years—and possible limits to INE autonomy, plus a proposal to align the presidential recall with 2027 elections; the final text is still being refined.
- Morena senators publicly backed the reform as a way to curb party-list appointments and costs, while opposition figures and columnists warned it could concentrate power, and congressional leaders invited business groups to engage in the debate.
