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.
The president of the National Electoral Institute (INE), Guadalupe Taddei Zavala, clarified that the involvement of Talleres Gráficos de México in the contract to produce voting credentials does not grant the government access to the Electoral Registry or citizen data. The contract was awarded to Cosmocolor in partnership with other firms following a competitive evaluation. Taddei stressed the security measures the INE has upheld for 35 years.
