Revocation of mandate: citizens denounced alleged ban to participate in the consultation with recent credentials

A little more than a month after the election day for the popular consultation on the revocation of the President of the Republic's mandate, some citizens denounced alleged irregularities. Testimonies pointed to the alleged prohibition of persons with credentials issued by the National Electoral Institute (INE) to participate in the consultation.

A citizen consulted by Infobae Mexico said he was in such a situation. According to his testimony, he went to his office on 2 March to request correction of the address that appears in his document. The process happened normally, although when the date of March 18 was confirmed to collect his new credential, the person who received his documents warned him that he would not be able to participate in the exercise.

“When I was told that my INE was being handed over to me on March 18, they told me that I could not vote in the next elections, supposedly because they were already very close. At first I didn't remember when the votes were, but since I saw the date and that they are April 10, it seemed very strange to me,” he said.
