The General Council of the INE approved that the Executive Directorate of the Federal Register of Voters (DERFE) remedy the inconsistency detected in 10 thousand cases, regarding the absence of signature or fingerprint on the copy of the voter registration card annexed by the citizens and citizens to the Individual Application for Registration to the Nominal List of Voters Resident Abroad.

In an extraordinary session at the National Electoral Institute (INE), the councilors endorsed with nine votes in favor and two against this agreement, which means that Mexicans living or residing abroad will be able to exercise their right to vote.

The president of the INE, Lorenzo Cordova, said that this agreement involves a series of elements that "allow us to walk on a path of reasonable certainty, under the logic of maximizing rights without jeopardizing the certainty of the electoral process as regards voting. of Mexicans from abroad. "

Promises Meade a field in which 'everyone wins'

In this regard, election counselor Enrique Andrade, who presented the draft agreement, noted that the applications that present this inconsistency meet the requirements determined by the INE, so "the electoral authority considered that this omission should be corrected, privileging the desire to exercise the universal right to vote. "


He pointed out that there are almost 10 thousand applications that present as inconsistency the lack of signature in the copy, but that meet all the requirements determined in the guidelines for the conformation of the List of Voters from Abroad.

He recalled that these requirements are the citizen's data, such as name, surname; voter's key, issue number; home abroad with a valid and current voucher no longer than three months; means of contact, which can be telephone number abroad and email.
In the same way, verification data, which is the name of the father or mother and a signed declaration to vote from abroad.

In addition, with the copy of the credential it is noticed that the citizen is in the electoral roll and in the nominal list in Mexico and, finally, that the copy also warns that the signature corresponds to the signature image of the base of data of the first instrument.


He proposed that for these reasons on March 28 the National Surveillance Commission (CNV) approved to recommend to the DERFE that the inconsistencies presented by these requests be corrected.

Andrade indicated that based on the foregoing, in this agreement it is justly proposed that, in response to the recommendation, the INE's general council approve that the DERFE implement what is necessary for the recommendation to be made in the terms set forth by the CNV.

In accordance with paragraph 51 of the guidelines, resolving the origin or illegality of the applications corresponds to the DERFE, according to the requirements and the established criteria and with the opinion of said commission, he said.

He recalled that "we are already in the last month to conform the list of electors from abroad, ruling the applications and waiting for confirmation of citizens who have processed their credential from September 1 to March 31 to be included in the list of Electors.

On March 31, in the Extraordinary Day for the Processing of the Credential, as reported, attended the representations of Mexico abroad nine thousand 985 citizens to process the credential, which represents the interest that exists to participate in the election of the next first of July, "he said.

For his part, the counselor Marco Antonio Baños Martínez explained that this case meant interpreting in favor of 11 thousand 90 citizens who applied to be on the Nominal List of Voters Abroad.

He indicated that the proposal analyzed by the National Surveillance Commission and voted by the General Council describes that several verification procedures have been complied with, so he asked that the endorsement be added to the endorsement that the Executive Directorate of the Federal Register of Voters made the verification, to avoid confusion and suspicion.

He noted that it is a matter "that is in the limit, which can be interpreted for or against and depends on the criterion", as well as according to the instruction, each of the 11 thousand 90 cases was reviewed and sent what is conducive, what "I think can generate greater certainty about what we would be approving," he concluded.
