After the Baja California State Electoral Institute (IEEBC) stated that it is "impossible, materially and legally" to hold a plebiscite to consult the public on the restriction of lanes on Boulevard 2000, the organization promoting this exercise announced that it will go to the last minute to meet its goal of holding it on election day, June 1. According to José Ángel Peñaflor Barrón, who is part of the initiative's driving committee, he assured that they have completed the delivery of more than 18,000 required signatures, which also complied with the necessary regulations.
Although election day is six weeks away, he expressed optimism that the citizen participation law will be complied with, and that they will seek to hold at least two more plebiscites to consult the public on other issues of interest to the state. El Sol de Tijuana requested an interview with the IEEBC (National Electoral Institute) to address this issue. The press office reported that the electoral body's General Council had already addressed the matter during its 22nd Extraordinary Session.
It was reported that this relates to the plebiscite request submitted by José Orozco Rodríguez, which is accompanied by 18,000 citizen registrations and is in the process of being captured. The request will then be verified by the IEEBC and sent to the National Electoral Institute for comparison with the Electoral Registry and Nominal Voter List. In this regard, it was explained during the session that it is "impossible, materially and legally, for the Citizen Participation and Civic Education Commission" to resolve a matter of such relevance and submit it to the General Council for subsequent full approval within the fifteen business days provided for in the aforementioned article, in order to verify compliance with the requirements set forth in the aforementioned Law.
