In a public session, the magistrates also confirmed the electoral tickets model for circuit magistrates and district judging people who will be used in the judicial elections.
Previously, the model for ballots for the election of ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), electoral magistrates and the court of judicial discipline was already confirmed by the court.
In the discussion, however, four of five magistrates-only Felipe de la Mata did not pronounce in this regard-recognized that the tickets will be “complex” and that they could lead to confusion, so mechanisms are required to make them clearer for The electorate.
By majority, the type of ballot that will be used was confirmed.
“The design will be tested,” admitted the magistrate president Monica Soto, “there could be better, but this was endorsed by eight counselors who dedicated months, that gives confidence that it was the best,” he added.
Judge Janine Otálora proposed to revoke the INE agreement on the ballot model and instruct that an “instructive or manual” is adds, since the design could induce confusion.
Magistrate Reyes Rodríguez recalled that, although the Constitution indicates that the names of must appear alphabetically and that did the INE, they could well put blocks of candidates, according to specialty and within that list became alphabetically.
On the contrary, he said, everyone will appear alphabetically, but the specialties scattered throughout the ballot.
In addition, a number will be assigned to be placed in a box and not a mark in the names, all of which the vote will make more complex, so it proposed to revoke and that the INE revalrates the model, which was not accepted.
Judge Felipe Alfredo Fuentes said that another ballot design, for example to consign the preference name of the electoral, would imply more time in the box, so the guaranteed design will reduce them.
The magistrates also declared more citizen judgments promoted by candidates to contend in the judicial election that were left out of the draw despite having been considered suitable, because by mistake of the legislative power their names were not included in the thombola or were raffled in entities different.
