Mexico's INE approves ballot design and printing for 2027 election
Mexico’s National Electoral Institute approved the design and printing of the ballot for the 2027 election in a unanimous vote.
It also approved models for ballot markers, ballot boxes and election-material containers.
The materials are designed to be accessible and durable, and include a Fresnel magnifier for older people and voters with reduced vision.
The article says the election will renew all 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and include gubernatorial elections in 17 states.
But it gives June 6, 2026, as the election date, which conflicts with its references to the 2027 election.
The approval clears the way for printing the ballot, but no further steps are specified.
