Sources: 11. Developments: 2. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has alleged the existence of monopolies regarding the procurement of electoral materials dating back to 1999. She stated that certain companies have acted as intermediaries without employing workers to secure contracts for the National Electoral Institute (INE) and state electoral bodies. To address these issues, the federal government proposes that Talleres Gráficos de México (TGM), an agency under the Ministry of the Interior, assume full responsibility for producing electoral stationery. An audit will cover contracts made since 1999, with the possibility of criminal complaints being filed if sufficient evidence is found. Subsequent investigations by the Secretary of Anticorruption and Good Governance linked a network of electoral providers to the administration of Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Reports indicate that the Hernández Casillas brothers, or companies controlled by their children, received more than 2,094 million pesos in contracts from 23 local electoral bodies between 2014 and 2023. The Superior Audit of the Federation is currently investigating to determine if future disqualifications for these providers are warranted. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-05: Mexican President links electoral provider network to Salinas era President Claudia Sheinbaum alleges a corruption network of electoral providers linked to the Hernández Casillas brothers has operated since the Salinas administration, securing billions in contracts. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-president-links-electoral-supplier-network-to-salinas-era ### 2026-10-30: Mexico President Sheinbaum alleges electoral contract monopolies since 1999 President Claudia Sheinbaum alleges electoral material procurement monopolies in Mexico dating back to 1999, proposing a shift to state-run TGM to ensure transparency. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-president-sheinbaum-alleges-electoral-contract-monopolies-since-1999 --- Cite as: Mexico electoral contract corruption allegations.
