Sonora and Nuevo León set electoral timelines

The State Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute of Sonora has confirmed that pre-campaigns for the state governorship will officially begin on December 2, 2025. According to the 2026-2027 electoral calendar, these pre-campaigns will last 39 days, concluding on January 10, 2027. The institute also established spending limits, capping pre-campaign resources at approximately 17 million pesos and constitutional campaign funds at approximately 85 million pesos.

In Nuevo León, Movimiento Ciudadano national coordinator Jorge Álvarez Maynez announced that the registration of pre-candidates for the governorship is scheduled for the first week of December in Mexico City. While the party maintains it is following legal procedures, local figures, including Guadalupe Mayor Héctor García, have expressed concerns that the party may be behind schedule in defining its candidate for the competitive race.
