INE President Guadalupe Taddei Zavala stated during the session that although the designation appears technical, it represents the formal beginning of constructing a key information mechanism for the Election Day and confidence in the electoral system. [^2]

The UTSI will coordinate technical, operational, and logistical activities including computer systems, technological infrastructure, information security mechanisms, and the installation and operation of centers for storage, transmission, capture, and verification. [^3]

The General Council approved a proposal by council member Frida Gómez that district councils will initially evaluate ballots if they find anomalies, leading to an official report. [^4]

Representatives of political parties will be able to review the progress of the PREP, and an external entity will audit the system to ensure transparency. [^5]
