This amount represents 86.06% of the signatures submitted to the electoral body and exceeds the 10% required.
In an urgent extraordinary session, electoral councilor Jessica Jazibe Hernández García stated that the process is at a “very important” stage, as it is the first time it will be carried out at the federal level.
“It is extremely important to note that, both in the recall law and in our guidelines issued for the recall of elected officials, we are already listening to and, if necessary, analyzing the report presented by the executive secretary of this institute,” she emphasized.
She added that there will be a verification process to ensure the requirements for the request are met.
“The Executive Secretariat, in conjunction with the executive directorate of prerogatives, political parties, and independent candidates, will prepare a report on the results of the review of the citizens listed on the voter registration list,” she added.
He indicated that the forms must include the number of citizens who signed the petition and their percentage, as well as the number of citizens who signed but are not on the voter registration list.
In that regard, the catalog of radio and television programs that broadcast news and will be subject to general monitoring was approved, as well as the catalog of print and digital media outlets that disseminate news online for this process.
Furthermore, the report on the results of the verification of citizen support, submitted by the head of the Executive Secretariat to the General Council of the IEEPCO (Oaxaca State Electoral Institute), was presented.
He confirmed that valid support was duly distributed across 569 of the 570 municipalities in the state of Oaxaca, fulfilling the minimum territorial dispersion requirement stipulated in the Oaxaca State Law on Recall Elections and the Guidelines.
The governor of Oaxaca, Salomón Jara, celebrated the report issued by the Executive Secretariat of the IEEPCO (Oaxaca State Electoral Institute), stating that the requirements for holding the recall referendum have been met.
“We will remain attentive to the development and progress of this democratic process. Since the beginning of the Oaxacan Spring, I have promoted the recall referendum, convinced that democracy must be fully exercised,” he commented.
On his social media account, he said that “with this type of exercise, the people win, democracy wins, and citizen participation is strengthened.”
