Unmarked Van, Exposed Ballots: Mexico City Election Security Questioned

Electoral Package Transportation Raises Concerns in Mexico City Mexico City – Concerns about election security have been raised following the observation of electoral packages being transported in an unmarked van on June 1, 2025. The incident, captured on video by Latinus Diario, shows ballot boxes being loaded into a vehicle lacking proper identification and security protocols. The van, which had tinted windows, was observed by the news outlet's reporter, Alberto Valiente, who followed the vehicle to its destination. "The van didn't comply with established protocols," stated the Latinus Diario reporter in the video. "It only had one line official on board, no custody, no protection for the packages." Upon arrival at the District Electoral Board #10 in Parque Lira, further irregularities were noted. Ballot boxes were left unsecured and exposed on the ground, raising concerns about potential tampering or compromise of the electoral process. The video contrasts the casual handling of the packages in this instance with the more secure handling observed at other locations. The incident highlights the need for improved security measures during the electoral process to ensure public trust and confidence in the integrity of the election results. Further investigations are warranted to determine the full extent of any potential breaches of election security protocols.
