Mexico's Sheinbaum Proposes Electoral Reform to Cut Spending and Change Lawmakers' Election

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum proposed an electoral reform bill aiming to reduce public electoral spending by 25%, reallocating funds to social programs like healthcare and education. The reform would require plurinominal lawmakers, currently appointed via party lists, to seek direct public votes, cut party financing, limit campaign media time, and ban AI-generated content without labels. The bill faces opposition from parties concerned about democratic representation and requires two-thirds congressional approval.
