Overview

• Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez led the Hermosillo session with Governor Alfonso Durazo as part of the presidential commission’s statewide forums.
• Rodríguez said the effort seeks to cut election costs while preserving transparency, legality, impartiality, objectivity and certainty, and she emphasized that no initiative text exists yet.
• INE president Guadalupe Taddei participated, saying the institute is open to change, urging a balance between savings and quality, and defending the continued role of state electoral bodies (Oples).
• Twenty speakers from academia, the legislature and indigenous communities offered proposals including gender parity and youth candidacies, harmonizing indigenous norms with electoral law, reviewing sanctions, and reducing but tightening controls on public financing.
• Organizers said the consultation will build a citizen‑driven draft for consideration next year, and local reporting noted that any reform adopted would set the rules for the 2027 federal and state races.
