Sinaloa Electoral Institute Approves Funding for Two New Parties

The General Council of the Electoral Institute of Sinaloa has approved the allocation of public funds to two newly registered national political parties, Partido Paz and Somos Mexico. Each party will receive 1,821,253 pesos to support their activities throughout the current year.

This financial distribution is part of the public funds designated for political parties' ordinary and specific activities. The institute clarified that this allocation does not represent an increase in the overall budget approved for 2026. For the period of July to December of this year, a total of 91,062,652.97 pesos is available for the permanent and specific activities of political parties. Two percent of this amount will be assigned to the two new national parties.

The remaining funds will be distributed among the seven established political institutes that are already entitled to financing. This distribution follows a constitutional formula: 30 percent is allocated equally among them, and the remaining 70 percent is distributed proportionally based on the votes received in the most recent local deputy election.

Regarding specific activities, 2,731,897.77 pesos are designated for distribution. Of this amount, 30 percent will be divided equally among the nine parties eligible for resources, including the recently registered ones. The remaining 70 percent will be allocated proportionally based on each party's performance in the last election, according to applicable legislation.
