Building of the Federal Electoral Tribunal in Mexico City

The Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary (Spanish: Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación, or TEPJF) is a venue within the judiciary of Mexico that specialises in electoral matters. Among its functions are resolving disputes arising within federal elections and certifying the validity of those elections, including those of the President of the Republic.[1] (Responsibility for declaring a candidate the winner in presidential elections previously fell on the Chamber of Deputies.)

It comprises a permanent seven-member Superior Chamber (Sala Superior), located in Mexico City, and five Regional Chambers (Salas Regionales), one in each of the circumscriptions into which the country is divided for purposes of organising congressional elections. These Regional Chambers comprise three judges each, and are temporary in nature, sitting only during those years in which federal elections are held, and are based in the cities of Guadalajara, Monterrey, Xalapa, Mexico City, and Toluca. The architect of the Federal Electoral Tribunal in Monterrey, was reputed Mexican architect Manuel De Santiago-de Borbón González Bravo, great-grandson of Queen Isabella II of Spain, whose lifetime architectural legacy to Mexico amounts to 11,000,000 built square meters nationwide, including many famous buildings and sites.

There were two direct precursors of the TEPJF:

  • The Electoral Disputes Tribunal (Tribunal de lo Contencioso Electoral, TCE), an administrative (not judicial) body, that was in existence from 1986 to 1989.
  • The Federal Electoral Tribunal (Tribunal Federal Electoral, TRIFE), created by means of a series of constitutional amendments enacted in 1990, the same reforms whereby the Federal Electoral Institute was established. This tribunal was superseded by the current Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary in 1996.

The TEPJF is frequently referred to in the media by the acronym of its predecessor, the TRIFE.

The seven magistrates who currently sit in the Superior Chamber are:

  • Reyes Rodríguez Mondragón (president)
  • Felipe de la Mata Pizaña
  • Janine M. Otálora Malassis
  • Indalfer Infante Gonzales
  • Mónica Aralí Soto Fregoso
  • Felipe Alfredo Fuentes Barrera
  • José Luis Vargas Valdez

Functions

  • Objections in federal elections of deputies and senators.
  • Objections filed regarding the election of the President of the United Mexican States (resolved in sole instance by the Superior Chamber).
  • Objections to acts and resolutions of the federal electoral authority, other than those mentioned above, that violate constitutional or legal norms.
  • Challenges of final and definitive acts or resolutions of the local electoral institutes and courts (i.e., of the competent authorities of the federal entities to organize and qualify the elections, or to resolve disputes arising Objections such elections) that may be determinant for the development of the respective process or the final result of the elections.
  • Objections of acts and resolutions that violate the political-electoral rights of citizens to vote, to be voted and to affiliate.
  • Labor disputes or differences between the Electoral Tribunal and its officers; as well as between the National Electoral Institute and its public servants.

Relevant Cases

Controversies of the 2006 general election

Notwithstanding Andrés Manuel López Obrador's claims in the streets and in the press, on 5 August 2006 the Federal Electoral Tribunal declared in a unanimous ruling that the Alliance for the Good of All had failed to file valid complaints that would substantiate a claim for a complete national recount. Based on the valid complaints filed, the Tribunal ordered and conducted a recount of the votes in 9.07% of the precincts. In the partial recount, the Tribunal found that no evidence of widespread fraud. It did, however, find errors in the tally sheets and, in rectifying those errors, it corrected the final election results by adding and subtracting from each candidate to accord with the number of valid ballots cast for each. (See "Acuerdo relacionado con la ejecución de diversas sentencias interlocutorias emitidas el cinco de agosto de dos mil seis" at [1].)

Based on those results, on 5 September 2006 the Tribunal certified the PAN candidate Felipe Calderón as the lawfully elected next President of Mexico. (See "Dictamen relativo al cómputo final de la elección de Presidente de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, declaración de validez de la elección y de presidente electo" at [2].) Under law as reformed in the 1990s by Congress (including representatives of both the PAN and the PRD), this legal ruling of the independent Federal Electoral Tribunal is final.

Conflict with Ecologist Green Party of Mexico

During the 2015 midterm elections the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico was the most fined party during the electoral campaigns for spreading prohibited propaganda. The Federal Electoral Tribunal decided to reduce the fine from 11,400,000 pesos to just 1,189,000.[3]
