The National Electoral Institute (INE) in Mexico approved a single polling station model for the 2026-2027 electoral process, allowing citizens to cast their votes for both federal and local elections in one location under a unified system. This model was developed based on experience from previous elections in 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2024. The agreement outlines rules for the setup, location, and operation of polling stations, including distribution of furniture, voting booths, documentation, voter flow, oversight by political parties and observers, and simultaneous counting of federal and local votes. It also includes accessibility measures for people with disabilities, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and other groups requiring assistance. Additionally, the INE approved providing 1,000 ballots per candidate position for special polling stations during the June 6, 2027 election day, citing evaluations confirming this quantity meets demand.
