Mexican Organizations Urge Postponement of 2027 Judicial Elections

Over 150 Mexican organizations and political actors are calling for the postponement of the 2027 judicial elections and a redesign of the current model. They warn that the existing process, with issues like a lack of technical filters for candidates and operational problems seen in 2025, compromises judicial independence and public trust. The groups also suggest that judicial elections should not coincide with general elections to prevent partisan influences.
