- Contract documents describe a miniseries narrating coordination between the INE and the TEPJF during the 2024–2025 extraordinary judicial election process.
- Gilberto Solís has been cited in court records tied to the SRTH diversion schemes associated with the Estafa Maestra, a case in which former SRTH director Sergio Islas Olvera received a 10-year sentence.
- Counselor Carla Humphrey disavowed the project and its contracting and flagged potential conflicts of interest, while counselors Dania Ravel and Martín Faz said counselors do not participate in procurements and reported they were not informed.
- Reporting outlines a decision chain from Iliana Hernández to Secretary Executive Claudia Arlett Espino to INE president Guadalupe Taddei, with critics warning about concentrated decision-making and seeking details on this deal and other direct assignments such as new security systems.
