Mexicali, November 30. In an extraordinary session, the General Council of the Baja California State Electoral Institute (IEEBC) approved two opinions regarding the guidelines that will guarantee the principles of gender parity, substantive equality, and non-discrimination .
Electoral advisor Abel Alfredo Muñoz Pedraza presented the opinion regarding the guidelines to guarantee the principle of substantive equality for people belonging to indigenous or Afro-Mexican peoples and communities in the nomination of candidates.
In this regard, it was established that to run for the State Congress, two of the 17 current candidate formulas must be included by people from the indigenous or Afro-Mexican community .
In the case of municipal slates, such as municipal presidencies, councilors, and syndicates, they must include a formula from the entire slate in each of the seven municipalities.
Regarding the composition of municipal slates, Muñoz Pedraza stated that, in order to guarantee parity, political parties, coalitions, and independent candidates will comply with the provisions of the "Qualitative Block by Municipalities . "
