"Discussion of Election Matters During Extraordinary Session": SCJN to Delve into Election Issues

Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) to Hold Extraordinary Plenary Session on August 19, 2025

The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) has announced an extraordinary plenary session on Tuesday, August 19, 2025. The session is convened solely to address pending electoral cases.

The focus of the appeals in question is the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power (TEPJF). The appeals are exclusively related to the national count of the election.

The resolution of these appeals will involve the declaration of validity and the delivery of majority certificates. The SCJN justified the announced extraordinary session by stating that a resolution should be reached promptly due to the obligations stated in the second transitory article of the judicial reform decree.

It's important to note that the SCJN's obligation to issue resolutions is not related to the Unconstitutionality Actions 44/2025 and 45/2025. These actions were promoted by the National Human Rights Commission and the Federal Executive Power, and they demand the invalidity of various provisions included in Decree 55/2025, a regulatory instrument that introduced modifications to the Political Constitution of the State of Yucatan. However, Decree 55/2025 is not directly related to the appeals related to the election of TEPJF Magistrates.

The modifications focused on the reform of the Judicial Power of that entity. The official list published by the Court includes the discussion of Unconstitutionality Actions 44/2025 and its accumulated 45/2025.

The SCJN's prompt resolution is necessary to meet the deadline stated in article 68, last paragraph, of the Law Regulating Fractions I and II of Article 105 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States. This article establishes that, in matters of electoral issues, the project of the sentence must be submitted to the Plenary for its resolution within the following five days after the procedure has been exhausted.

The election of Magistrates and Magistrates of the TEPJF is the subject of the appeals. The SCJN's extraordinary plenary session on August 19, 2025, is not solely focused on the resolution of the appeals related to the election of TEPJF Magistrates. However, it is crucial for the efficient functioning of the judicial system and the country's democratic process.

For more detailed information on specific unconstitutionality actions or outcomes from such sessions, it would be necessary to consult official SCJN communications or legal reports from that period. If you are looking for details on judgments or actions taken during this session, you may need to refer directly to SCJN's official announcements or legal documents.
