President Claudia Sheinbaum has officially established the Presidential Commission for Electoral Reform, as published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación. The commission is tasked with drafting proposals and conducting studies to reform Mexico's political-electoral system. It is chaired by Pablo Gómez and includes key members such as Rosa Icela Rodríguez, Arturo Zaldívar, Ernestina Godoy, Jesús Ramírez, Peña Merino, and Lázaro Cárdenas Batel. The commission will incorporate input from opposition members, former officials of the National Electoral Institute (INE), and the general public through a broad citizen survey. Among the survey questions are opinions on proportional representation (plurinominal legislators) and the substantial public funding political parties receive. President Sheinbaum has indicated plans to reduce the number of plurinominal legislators as part of the reform. However, experts warn that this reduction could undermine minority representation and potentially benefit the ruling Morena party. The reform initiative has sparked debate, with some critics expressing concerns about its implications for democratic freedoms and political pluralism in Mexico.
