The National Electoral Institute (INE) reported that it investigates whether some of the candidacies that participated in the first judicial election in Mexico incurred irregularities when financing the elaboration and distribution of the so -called “accordions”, guides to induce the vote.
During a press conference, the counselor Carla Humphrey, president of the Supervisory Commission, reported that this line of investigation was initiated informally after a view sent by the Technical Unit of the Electoral Contentious (UTCE).

“Expenses for ‘accordions’ are already investigated,” confirmed the counselor. And he added that it is “a view that gave the technical unit of the electoral contentious (UTCE) for the possible expenses in which it could have been incurred by the elaboration and distribution of the voting guides known as ‘accordions’,” the INE said in a statement.
The above, he explained, is done “so that the technical unit of control determines what is the origin of the resources with which the production, impression and dissemination of them were paid.”
Until now, 98 formal complaints have been filed for possible faults in the field of inspection, in addition to the three investigations initiated by the INE itself.
The sanctions, warned the counselor, can range from fines to the loss of the candidacy, even in the case of those who were elected.

“The sanctions could be until the possible loss of this registry as a candidate or candidate for serious inspection matters,” Humphrey emphasized.
On June 16, the INE will notify the candidacies on errors and omissions detected in their reports, which must be remedied.
The consolidated opinion and the final resolutions will be voted on July 28 in the General Council.
