Mexico's lower house rejects President Sheinbaum's electoral reform
Published on March 11, 2026.
The Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, has been rejected by lawmakers in the lower house of Congress, who believe the bill is a move by the ruling party to consolidate power. The bill received 259 votes in favor and 234 against, but fell short of the supermajority required for constitutional changes. Her allies, the Green Party (PVEM) and the Labor Party (PT), also withheld their support. The head of the electoral reform commission, Pablo Gomez, said that Mexico's electoral system costs $3.5.
