The General Council of the National Electoral Institute (INE) approved the designation of the Technical Services of Information Unit (UTSI) as the internal instance responsible for coordinating the development of activities for the Preliminary Election Results Program (PREP) for the 2026-2027 Federal Electoral Process. ^[1] 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]
