IEPAC

What IEPAC does

IEPAC (Instituto Electoral y de Participación Ciudadana de Yucatán) is the constitutionally mandated local electoral authority — an Organismo Público Local Electoral (OPLE) — for the state of Yucatán, Mexico. Headquartered in Mérida with 37 staff, the institute administers state executive, legislative, and municipal elections across Yucatán's 106 municipalities, certifies candidates, registers and monitors political parties, allocates public financing, and disseminates electoral results. It also runs civic education programs, the Consulta Infantil y Juvenil youth engagement initiative, and the Voto Yucateco en el Extranjero program for overseas voters.

Operating under Mexico's national electoral framework (coordinated with INE), IEPAC combines an operations layer (electoral logistics, party oversight, transparent publication of agreements via the Estrado Electrónico) with a civic engagement layer (Red Cívica network of 175 civil society organizations, training programs, public policy catalog). Supporting digital products include the Micrositio de Resultados Electorales, Sistema de Declaración Patrimonial y de Intereses, and various program-specific microsites for equality, videoteca, and youth civic space.

IEPAC's business model is exclusively government-funded; it charges no fees to citizens or political actors and derives no commercial revenue. Governance is exercised through a Consejo General composed of electoral counselors (Moisés Bates Aguilar as Consejero Presidente plus six Consejeros Electorales) and party representatives, supported by a Junta General Ejecutiva with directorates for electoral organization, administration, civic education, legal affairs, and fiscalization. Strategic intent centers on maintaining electoral legitimacy and democratic civic culture rather than commercial expansion.
