In a public session, the Special Commission for Institutional Dissemination and Debates of the State Electoral Institute of Baja California (IEEBC) approved opinion number four, which proposes to the General Council the appointment of moderators for the debates of the Ordinary Local Electoral Process 2023-2024.

Furthermore, she stressed that the participation of the moderators will be honorary, without receiving any income.
After analyzing the professional careers of the proposed candidates, the Commission identified suitable profiles for the moderation task. Among those selected are prominent figures with experience in the media, which guarantees their ability to direct the debates objectively and impartially.
The proposed moderators have extensive experience in journalism and the media, which supports their ability to address topics of interest in Baja California. The opinion will be sent to the General Council for consideration and approval.
