Mexico's electoral court rules marked ballots invalid
Original: boleta electoral
Mexico's Electoral Tribunal (TEPJF) has overturned an INE agreement, ruling that so-called 'boletas planchadas' — ballots marked entirely across every box — will not be counted as valid votes. The decision affects how spoiled or protest ballots are treated in Mexican elections. Voters and commentators are debating what markings now count, with guidance circulating on how to cast a valid protest vote.
Why now: The tribunal's reversal of the INE ruling on fully marked ballots is fresh electoral news drawing public attention in Mexico.
