Legislative and executive actors in Mexico are proposing new integrity measures for political candidates to prevent infiltration by organized crime ahead of the 2027 elections. In Puebla, the State Congress began evaluating a proposal to mandate anti-doping tests for those seeking public office. While the initiative aims to ensure representatives are free from addictions and criminal ties, officials noted that regulatory timelines might prevent the measure from being applied to the 2027 electoral cycle. In Querétaro, Governor Mauricio Kuri González introduced a more comprehensive ‘6 de 6’ protocol. This scheme expands beyond standard financial disclosures to include drug testing and independent polygraph examinations. The proposal has received support from the local Chamber of Commerce and the PAN party, which has committed to implementing these filters for its 2027 candidates. Political responses to the Querétaro protocol have expanded. Movimiento Ciudadano has expressed support, with leadership pledging to undergo the vetting process. Meanwhile, the PRI has stated it will run independently in the 2027 elections and suggested that anti-corruption measures should include ‘permanent oversight of sitting officials’ rather than just campaign-period checks. Senator Guadalupe Murguía noted that although Querétaro has not yet experienced criminal financing in its campaigns, the risk of infiltration remains a ‘national concern.’ The governor has emphasized that the protocol should function as a non-partisan, voluntary agreement between political parties and civil society.
