INE rejects for the third time regulating the “pre-pre-campaigns” leading up to the 2027 elections

The National Electoral Institute (INE) in Mexico has rejected, for the third time, the implementation of guidelines to regulate and oversee the internal political processes known as “pre-pre-campaigns” ahead of the 2027 elections. The decision follows a period of tension between electoral councilors and representatives of political parties regarding the oversight of these early political activities.

This recurring refusal to establish formal fiscalization rules for pre-pre-campaigns highlights a persistent disagreement within the electoral authority. The lack of regulation leaves these preliminary political maneuvers outside of standard oversight frameworks as parties prepare for the upcoming electoral cycle.
