President Claudia Sheinbaum's electoral reform advances without a public text, causing disagreements among allies like PVEM and PT, who resist budget cuts and changes to plurinominal seats. Critics like José Woldenberg warn it could erode political plurality, while the government aims to reduce costs and deepen democracy. The initiative will be presented to Congress in February for approval in March.
Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez asked lawmakers from the Labor Party and Morena for support on key reforms, including perfecting the electoral system and reducing the workday to 40 hours. At plenary meetings, she stressed that the electoral initiative will be nourished by the people's voice. Economic challenges ahead of the 2026 T-MEC review were also discussed.

Deputies from PAN and PRI in the Chamber of Deputies demanded dialogue tables with experts and civil society to discuss the electoral reform. Meanwhile, Morena's Ricardo Monreal conditioned its presentation on consensus with PT and PVEM. President Claudia Sheinbaum denied that the reform leads to authoritarianism and outlined its goals to strengthen democracy.
