In the 17 entities in which there are judicial elections at the federal and local level, “unique sectional boxes” will operate, where between 16 and 20 screens will be concentrated so that citizens vote simultaneously, and all will deposit their tickets already marked in a mega -URNA, together all the ballots.
In Durango and Veracruz, where on June 1, local elections will also be held for the renewal of municipal presidents, regidurías and uniones, the votes will come to the votes for ministers, magistrates, judges; local judges and magistrates, in addition to mayors, councilors and trustees.
In the session, the counselor Dania Ravel proposed that two polls be placed, to separate the federal level of election and the premises, but a majority of seven councilors endorsed that there was a unique urn to receive all kinds of vote.
In addition, the INE approved to provide the installation of 83, 997 sectional boxes, without so far there will be certain that the budget extension will be authorized to finance that number of sectional boxes.
The directors Carla Humphrey, Claudia Zavala, Dania Ravel and Jaime Rivera proposed to eliminate that part to let them be installed for now just over 73,000 sectional boxes, which is, according to the resources that the INE has, for what would reach it.
Leaving the agreement as is, explained Zavala, “implies having a clear response from the Ministry of Finance on the budget extension” and this does not exist, he recalled.
“That calculation, at this time, is premature because it takes for granted the response of the federal government to our request for budget extension, first that it would be in a positive sense, which we do not have now, but, in addition, we are not sure of what is the amount of this extension to be able to say how many sectional boxes we could expand, “said Humphrey.
In addition, the installation of special boxes was endorsed, intended for the reception of the voting of the voters who are in transit, outside the section corresponding to their home.
At least one of these boxes can be installed by the Judicial Electoral District and the number of tickets to be provided in each, will be 1,000 for each type of choice.
Electoral citizenization is reduced

The Minister Zavala also recalled that as approved neither the INE nor the local public organizations (OPLAS) are going to make the computation in a box of the elections of the Judiciary.
The sectional box has been indicated by electoral experts as a practice that will affect the citizenship of the elections, because unlike all other processes that have been carried out for 30 years to date, they will not be the citizens who were insaculated and trained the that will count the votes.
In addition, the calculation of votes in the box does not occur there will be no sheets with vote results outside the sectional boxes.
Now at the close of the boxes all mega polls will be transferred to the District Councils, where they will be INE officials who are in charge of the separation of votes by choice and their calculation, without intervention of the box officials.
