In Mexico, legislative uncertainty has emerged following a Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) ruling regarding electoral reforms. The ruling, which aims to protect elections from organized crime intervention, has faced criticism from local deputies for lacking technical clarity. Lawmakers, including PAN coordinator Alfredo Chávez Madrid, have expressed doubt over whether the ruling requires immediate adjustments for the current electoral process or if it will take effect by 2030. Consequently, a new legislative initiative has been proposed to ensure these regulations are applied to the 2027 elections.
