The Communist Party of Mexico (PCM) has launched a country wide campaign to meet official requirements to get on the ballot for the 2027 and 2030 elections.

Party leader Pavel Blanco told Peoples Voice in an interview that the PCM must gather 350,000 signatures as required by the National Electoral Institute (INE) to regain its electoral registration. The Party has set up committees in municipalities across Mexico, that are collecting signatures in the country of more than 131 million people. It is also using social media including its YouTube channel (El Machete TV), X and Instagram to gather signatures.

Mexicans who want to support the Party’s registration can sign the online Plataforma Comunista de Mexico. They will then be contacted by PCM committees in the area, who will gather their signatures.

According to Blanco, INE also requires the party to “hold assemblies in 200 electoral districts with 300 registered voters or 20 state assemblies with 3000 voters. Each meeting must then elect 3 delegates that must attend a national assembly.”

The PCM has until February 28, 2026 to meet the requirements demanded by INE, to get on the ballot.
