Copppal urges institutional overhaul of Mexico’s electoral institute
Copppal’s election observatory called for changes to Mexico’s National Electoral Institute, known as the INE, citing corruption and institutional problems.
It urged the Organization of American States to help Mexican authorities restore the institute and rebuild public confidence.
The observatory’s director, Sebastián Hagobian, said the problems could weaken the legitimacy of Mexico’s June 6, 2027 election.
The INE has historically been regarded as an important, trusted body that helped support Mexico’s peaceful democratic transition.
The observatory says corruption has damaged the INE’s credibility, professional structure and autonomy.
It also called for political forces to agree on a new institutional design and select a new INE president with an unblemished record.
The proposed OAS support is intended to help prepare the institute for 2027, but the account does not say whether Mexican authorities or the OAS have agreed to act.

Es inadmisible que una gran institución que nació de la lucha ciudadana se haya pervertido por intereses facciosos y redes de corrupción interna que buscaron apoderarse de ella, debilitando su estructura profesional, vulnerando su autonomía y minando la transparencia de su gestión administrativa
Hacemos un llamado respetuoso pero urgente al secretario general de la OEA, Albert Ramdin, para que, en estrecha coordinación y diálogo constructivo con las diversas fuerzas políticas mexicanas, se acuerden e implementen de inmediato medidas extraordinarias de apoyo internacional enfocadas en el rescate definitivo del órgano electoral
