In the context of the upcoming elections in Mexico, scheduled for June 2nd, electoral logistics have become a monumental challenge. To ensure that the more than 97 million registered voters can exercise their right to vote, the National Electoral Institute (INE) has implemented a rigorous logistical plan, according to information shared by Top Flotillas and LOGEX.
This process has involved the printing and distribution of 317 million ballots, as well as numerous documents and materials necessary to ensure an orderly and secure voting process across the country.
The scope of the elections is vast, with 20,367 positions being renewed at the federal and local levels, including the presidency of the Republic. Additionally, 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, 128 senatorial seats, and several governorships, local congresses, municipal councils, and mayoralties in eight states will be contested.
The transportation of ballots and electoral materials has been carried out under strict security measures and in coordination with various institutions.
This process, which began on May 3rd and extended until May 17th, involved the participation of the National Defense Secretariat (SEDENA), the Navy Secretariat (SEMAR), and the National Guard, along with local security forces in each state.
These ballots, guarded along 24 different routes, arrive at the 300 district councils to be counted, sealed, and grouped before being delivered to each polling station.
Timely and secure delivery of the ballots has been crucial, as any delay could compromise the integrity of the electoral process. To ensure this, detailed procedures were implemented at every step of the way, from printing at the Graphic Workshops of Mexico (TGM) to the final distribution.
The production of the ballots began with the executive direction of electoral organization of the INE, responsible for their graphic design. Subsequently, TGM took charge of printing, using security paper with watermark and invisible inks. The ballots are printed in sheets and then cut, packaged, and sent to various destinations.
Each stage of the process was designed to guarantee the authenticity and security of the ballots, avoiding any possibility of substitution or fraud. Once printed, the ballots are grouped into blocks and placed in boxes identified with specific labels to facilitate their distribution.
The INE and security forces work to ensure that each step of the logistical process will be carried out with the utmost precision. From the reception of the materials in the electoral warehouses to the final delivery to the presidents of the polling station boards, every detail was crucial so that on June 2nd, voters find their ballots ready and in order.
