# Mexican political party electoral oversight and funding > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/mexican-political-party-electoral-oversight-and-funding > Updated: 2026-08-22T03:15:34.000Z. Sources: 60. Developments: 4. The National Electoral Institute (INE) continues to manage the financial and regulatory oversight of Mexico’s political parties. Between 2020 and 2026, the INE issued 2.9 billion pesos in total fines to eight political parties. Morena has been identified as the party with the highest number of sanctions for improper affiliations, accounting for 56 percent of the total fines, which amount to 1.641 billion pesos. These penalties were linked to misconduct such as “the use of false signatures and deceptive practices,” while other parties like the PRI and PT faced fines for expenditure irregularities. For the 2027 electoral cycle, the INE’s Prerogatives and Political Parties Commission approved a proposal for public financing totaling 10,842,653,927 pesos, a 3.82 percent increase from 2024. This funding is divided into permanent ordinary activities, campaign activities, and specific activities. Morena is projected to receive approximately 3,605 million pesos, followed by the PAN (1,804 million), PRI (1,373 million), and Movimiento Ciudadano (1,167 million). Additionally, political parties are required to collectively allocate 236 million pesos—3 percent of their ordinary financing—to strengthen women's political leadership. In August 2026, the INE General Council approved a preliminary budget request of approximately 31.43 billion pesos for the 2027 fiscal year, covering office operations, institutional projects, and potential popular consultations. In response, Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez has called for “prudence” regarding budget requests from autonomous bodies like the INE and the Judiciary. Rodríguez emphasized that austerity measures must extend to all institutions and noted that while progressive salary increases for workers may be considered, no increases are planned for high-ranking officials under President Claudia Sheinbaum’s mandate. The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) will ultimately determine final allocations. ## Claims - Morena is projected to receive approximately 3,604 million pesos in public funding.
