Proposed Electoral Reconfiguration Sparking Debate.

President Claudia Sheinbaum submitted a major electoral reform bill to the House of Representatives. The proposal seeks to fundamentally redesign how the country’s democratic system is funded and managed. The bill proposes a hybrid system for proportional representation, where 100 seats in the House would be allocated to best runners-up from district races rather than closed party lists. The administration argues the move will reduce the high costs of the political system and strengthen democratic legitimacy, though opposition parties have raised concerns about the centralization of electoral authority.
