The organizations that requested resources from the Electoral Observation Fundwith the aim of monitoring the elections, will have fewer resources this year and less time to exercise them.
While in 2012, the projects that were registered to monitor the elections shared a purse of 75.6 million pesos; This 2024, the resources amount to 18 million pesos.
Due to the budget cuts that the Chamber of Deputies ordered the INE, for four thousand 700 million pesos, the institute canceled the budget for electoral observation. However, the General Executive Board instructed the Administration Directorate to use savings and economies to create the fund of 18 million pesos that will be divided among 25 organizations.
In 2018, the budget of 28 million pesos was distributed among 28 organizations, with a limit of one million pesos per project, of which the prime ministership was given to them three months before the election.
This year, the projects will have a limit of 300 thousand pesos and the resource will be delivered in a single presentation, less than 38 days before election day.
THEY REMOVE RESOURCES FROM ELECTION OBSERVERS
Although electoral observers have been carrying out their work for weeks, as counselor Uuc Kib Espadas said in a press conference, the organizations that requested resources from the Electoral Observation Fund will have fewer resources and less time to use them in support of their job.
This 2024, 18 million pesos were awarded, when in 2018 it was 28 million and in 2012 it was a purse of 75.6 million pesos.
This year, the General Executive Board had to instruct the Administration Directorate of the Institute to use savings and economies to create the fund of 18 million pesos, given the budget cut ordered by the Chamber of Deputies for 4.7 billion pesos.
The cut forced the cancellation of the budget for this item, but the money was raised to support organizations with specific observation projects.
In 2018, the 28 million were distributed among 28 organizations, the limit per project was 1 million pesos of which they were given the prime ministership on March 27, three months before the election.
Today, the 18 million will be distributed among 25 organizations, with a limit per project of 300 thousand pesos, since universities will also receive resources from that pool. The resource will be given in a single presentation less than 38 days before election day.
Excelsior reviewed the 25 organizations and the majority consider themselves nonpartisan, operating neutrally on their social networks or the internet.
The 25 projects have to do with issues of observing election day in preventive detention, a new type of voting in prisons. among others.
