Stage 3 and 4 quintets and choice
From the evaluations no later than March 22, the CTE will send Jucopo four lists, each one with the names of five semifinalists, that is, 20 applicants, the best qualified.
The selection of these quintets is stage 3 and there will be 2 women and 2 men. The lists of names will be “in strict alphabetical order” and may not be repeated; They will be public and also, in a public version, the data on the curriculum, essays, interviews.
Stage 4 will be the election of the directors. Once the quintets are received, the Jucopo “will promote the construction of the agreements” and the CTE will have completed its work.
It will be the Board, that is, the coordinators of the seven benches, which will vote on “the proposal with the designation corresponding to the position of directors and directors.”
In the Jucopo, voting is weighted, that is, each member represents the weight of their bench. That is why Morena and her allies have a majority.
No later than March 27, the Board will notify the Board of Directors of the Chamber, chaired by PAN member Santiago Creel, of its agreement on the proposed appointment of the 4 members of INE.
The vote of the plenary session of the Chamber must be “in the following ordinary session” to the approval of the Jucopo agreement. That is, on Tuesday, March 28, tentatively.
Vote or raffle
The INE directors will be those who reach a qualified majority of the deputies present. If the 500 attend, 334 will be required and Morena and her allies do not have that number.
Those parties of the “Fourth Transformation” are missing 58 votes of deputies. So, as has happened with constitutional reforms, they require the vote of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), a bench with enough members (69) to give them their votes, although the PAN with its 115 legislators also has enough weight to build a qualified majority.
But if that vote is not reached, the quintets will be returned to the Jucopo “in order to generate consensus.”
But in the event that “expired on March 28” that agreement is not notified or again the necessary votes are not reached, a session will be called to carry out an insaculation or raffle.
In that case, the “insaculation of the applicants included in each of the lists” will proceed.
But if this draw is not carried out, “the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Deputies will immediately send” the quintets to the Plenary of the SCJN.
It will be the Court that holds a raffle from which the new electoral advisers will ultimately emerge.
