SUP RAP 726 2017

Judgment

Question Presented: Political parties and coalitions must register indigenous peoples´ representatives as candidates in at least 13 electoral districts

Summary: The High Chamber of the TEPJF modified the agreement of the INE which established the criteria applicable to the registration of candidates for the various elected offices submitted by political parties and, where appropriate, coalitions, for the Federal Electoral Process 2017-2018, strengthening measures in favor of the indigenous population, by increasing the number of electoral districts where only indigenous persons should be nominated to 13. The Court ruled that the specific design of the measure was not the most appropriate to fully meet its purpose and increase the participation of indigenous people, as it allowed for the existence of indigenous and non-indigenous participation scenarios within the same district, which could limit the effectiveness of affirmative action. The High Chamber amended the INE agreement to ensure that political parties nominated only indigenous candidates in 13 districts where there is an indigenous concentration of more than 60 per cent of the total population. The 13 indigenous persons nominated could not be of the same gender in more than 7 districts.

Conclusion: The High Chamber modified the agreement issued by the General Council of the INE in order to strengthen affirmative actions aimed at achieving efficient indigenous representation.
