Alerta INE riesgos de confidencialidad por CURP biométrica

The Federal Elector Registry warns that new legislation, which compels the National Electoral Institute to share the confidential data of millions of citizens without strict limits, poses severe security and confidentiality risks. The absence of clearly defined safeguards and unrestricted access mechanisms threatens the integrity of the electoral register, potentially compromising the security of sensitive identification information. Furthermore, the implementation of a biometric CURP platform may discourage citizens from obtaining voter credentials, leading to an outdated electorate and increased abstention. This disengagement undermines the legitimacy of election results by reducing participation and ensuring that the registry no longer accurately reflects the active voting population. This issue is crucial for open data because it highlights the tension between transparency mandates and the fundamental right to data privacy. It underscores the necessity of establishing clear legal boundaries and security protocols when sharing public sector data, ensuring that openness does not inadvertently erode citizen trust or compromise personal security in democratic processes.
