Overview
- The Presidential Commission is set to present its initial sketch of the reform to President Claudia Sheinbaum and Morena’s congressional leaders today to outline proposals and timing.
- Morena’s Ricardo Monreal said the plan cannot pass without explicit consent from PT and PVEM, with PVEM signaling support for party-funding cuts if resources are distributed equally and PT expressing doubts about scrapping plurinominal seats or deep reductions.
- The INE submitted a formal package urging protection of its autonomy and constitutional budget shielding, as counselors pressed legislators to draw on the institute’s technical experience.
- Two INE counselors, Claudia Zavala and Dania Ravel, criticized the rushed process and skipped the handover, while reporting pointed to inconsistencies including 205 items instead of the 241 announced, drafting errors, and the removal of an approved proposal to toughen sanctions on influencers.
- INE proposals include tax incentives and early voting for polling-station officials, student service credit, stronger screening to exclude social-program operators, and transferring party extinction procedures to Indep, while broader ideas such as cutting plurinominal seats, reducing resources, adopting mixed e‑voting and AI, and potentially moving a 2027 revocation vote with fuero elimination remain under negotiation.
