Coahuila faces election hacker warnings and mayoral succession plan

Unverified reports have circulated about a possible cyber‑attack aimed at influencing the local deputy elections scheduled for 7 June in Coahuila. Authorities, including the national electoral institute, have not confirmed any digital interference, and no official statements have validated the claims. Analysts advise voters to rely on official information sources.

Separately, the Coahuila State Congress will appoint a substitute municipal president for Torreón to serve the remainder of the 2025‑2027 term after an absolute vacancy of the mayor’s office. The appointment follows the state municipal code and requires a two‑thirds congressional vote, with the first councilor, Luis Jorge Cuerda Serna, acting as interim administrator until the new mayor is confirmed.
