President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that the electoral reform to be submitted to Congress this month will ensure minority representation while encouraging candidates for parliament to seek popular votes.
In a recent press conference at the Palacio Nacional, President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the upcoming electoral reform that her administration plans to submit to the Congress of the Union. She emphasized that the reform's primary aim is to maintain the representation of minority groups in Mexico's electoral process. Additionally, Sheinbaum highlighted that the reform will incentivize individuals aspiring to become deputies or senators to actively seek the popular vote, thereby enhancing democratic participation among potential candidates.
Furthermore, Sheinbaum indicated that an essential component of the reform package is the reduction in the costs associated with the electoral process in Mexico. She pointed out that the current electoral system is quite expensive, placing a substantial financial burden on the citizens of Mexico. By lowering these costs, the government aims to make the electoral process more accessible and economically feasible for all involved.
The president's commitment to this reform aligns with her promises made in her 100-point plan, where she outlined various objectives to improve governance and political engagement. As the reform progresses through Congress, it may have significant implications for the electoral landscape in Mexico, impacting how minority groups are represented and how elections are conducted in the future.
