The National Electoral Institute has assumed the role of guaranteeing transparency and data protection for political parties, taking over functions previously held by the INAI after its dissolution. This decision ensures legal compliance while incorporating a pluralistic oversight mechanism, replacing initial proposals for specialized units that faced internal resistance within the institution. This shift is critical for open data because it centralizes accountability for political party information directly within the electoral body, rather than an external authority. By keeping these responsibilities internal, the INE aims to streamline the handling of public interest data requests related to political entities. The move highlights the evolving landscape of data governance in Mexico, where institutional restructuring directly impacts who controls access to public information. It underscores the importance of clear mandates in ensuring that transparency laws are effectively enforced for political actors, maintaining public trust through consistent regulatory oversight.
