Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico City's head of government, expressed opposition to proposals by some former electoral councilors to double the number of proportional representation legislators. She emphasized the need to consult the public on this issue and supported opening a debate when presenting her electoral reform initiative. In response, Lorenzo Córdova, former councilor of Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE), defended the reform proposal put forth by the Institute of Studies for Democratic Transition (IEDT), which includes four main points such as approving the reform by consensus rather than majority vote. Guadalupe Taddei, the current president of the INE, voiced reservations about electing councilors by popular vote, describing it as a complicated and more difficult path. She also firmly rejected any plans to hand over the electoral roll to the government or merge it with the biometric CURP, reaffirming the INE's institutional autonomy. Taddei highlighted the success of the recent electoral process for judges, magistrates, and ministers, and suggested reflecting on the continued structure of the INE's top-level organization following the 2024 elections and judicial elections.
