On Tuesday, Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez presented the Plan B electoral reform initiative on President Claudia Sheinbaum's instructions. It aims to cut privileges and spending in electoral bodies and local governments after the original constitutional proposal failed in the Chamber of Deputies. It will be sent to the Senate with PT and PVEM support.
President Claudia Sheinbaum presented her electoral reform proposal on February 25, 2026, aiming to eliminate plurinominal lists in the Senate and cut election costs by 25 percent. The initiative, to be sent to Congress on March 2, keeps 500 deputies but requires all to compete for direct votes. INE counselors warn that changes like eliminating permanent district boards represent a 45-year regression.
