Mexico's Senate approved the Plan B electoral reform with 87 votes in favor and 41 against, removing proposed changes to presidential recall via a Partido del Trabajo (PT) reserve. The measure aims to cut costs and privileges at the National Electoral Institute (INE) and other bodies. President Claudia Sheinbaum hailed the privilege cuts but regretted the recall omission.

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.
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.
