Judgment

Question Presented: Whether there is an obligation among political parties to comply with a candidate quota that included people from the LGBTQIA + community even though there was no legal order or law to do so.

Alleged Acts: Various questions were sent to the General Council of the Electoral Institute and Citizen Participation of the State of Guerrero about the implementation of affirmative measures or actions, aimed at guaranteeing the inclusion of people of sexual diversity in real spaces of political representation. Dissatisfied with the previous answer, a complaint was filed before the local Court.

Procedural history: The local court ruled in favor for the omission of a LGBTQIA+ candidate quota with regard to the implementation of affirmative actions in favor of LGBTTTIQ+ persons for the integration of City Councils and the State Congress. However, given the progress of the local electoral process, it determined that the implementation of these quotas in the candidacies for the positions of was materially impossible, and therefore only ordered the local Institute to issue guidelines in the form of affirmative action for this electoral process for the integration of municipalities. Plaintiffs appealed to the Mexico City Regional Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power.

Summary: The court agreed with the lower court’s reasoning that in the absence of a legal determination that specifically obliges political parties to comply with a quota, the Electoral Institute was obliged by constitutional and conventional mandates to establish concrete affirmative actions to achieve an effective standard of inclusion and representation of the LGBTQIA+ population in public positions under conditions of equality and in full exercise of their political-electoral rights. Consequently, the court ordered the Electoral Institute to issue the guidelines by means of which affirmative action bind the political parties, coalitions, and common candidacies so that there is an inclusive quota of candidates who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ population.

Conclusion: The local Institute was obliged to establish concrete affirmative actions as it was the ideal way to achieve an effective standard of inclusion and representation of said population in public office.
