Mexico City Electoral Institute Prepares 2027 Preliminary Results Program, Led by Cecilia Hernández

Mexico City’s Electoral Institute has begun preparing the system that will collect and publish preliminary trends and results for the 2027 local elections. Its General Council approved the formal launch of the COREPRE 2027 special committee, chaired by electoral councillor Cecilia Aída Hernández Cruz.

The committee will monitor the design, implementation and operation of the Preliminary Electoral Results Program, known as PREP. Its work will continue until it presents a final report within 30 days after election day, scheduled for June 6, 2027.

The institute said the committee’s responsibilities follow Article 75 of the local Electoral Code. During the elections, it will track the programs and procedures approved by the General Council to gather and distribute preliminary electoral trends and results, which will then be submitted to the council for consideration. The Technical Unit for Information Services will serve as the internal body responsible for coordinating PREP activities.

The council also assigned the Permanent Commission for Political Associations and Oversight to supervise the development and implementation of the “Candidates, Get to Know Them” system during the electoral process. Talleres Gráficos de México will print the electoral documents needed for the 2026-2027 ordinary local election.

A separate proposal on impartiality, neutrality and fairness in the contest, including rules for placing campaign propaganda on urban furniture and equipment, was removed from the agenda. Council president Patricia Avendaño requested more detailed analysis before the proposal returns at a later session.
