Tracking traffic light

Each instrument with the time it has been in Congress. The 90 and 180 calendar days marks indicate when a bill starts to lag and when we consider it in the freezer. How we calculate it.

Legislative productivity

Presenting is not the same as achieving. An approved reform changes the law; an exhortation only asks. That is why we separate each type of instrument and evaluate results, not just quantity. We count only what this observatory follows, not all of Congress’s activity.

Bills or reforms

5 - on f-up 2 aprobados · 1 in the freezer

They propose creating or changing a law, a code or the Constitution. If they are passed and published, they bind every authority. It’s the instrument with the greatest reach and the hardest to push through: it needs a committee report and a vote of the Plenary.

Points of agreement and exhortations

0 - on f-up 0 aprobados

They ask an authority to do something or set out a position of the Congress. They don’t change any law or bind anyone legally: their force is political. They tend to pass more easily, sometimes the same day.

Statements

0 being tracked

Statements from the floor or in the media. They put a position on record, but they aren’t voted on and have no legal effect.

Legislative work or simulation? Presenting many exhortations and position statements without a single bill, or presenting bills and leaving them in the freezer, gives visibility but does not change rights. Pushing a bill forward is also the responsibility of whoever presents it: lobbying the committee, asking for a report and securing the votes. That is why we mark these signs in the evaluation.

Who delivers results in Querétaro?

Presenting a proposal is easy; getting it approved takes work: convincing the committee, asking for it to be reviewed and securing the votes.

Best rated

This is how it is ranked: 1) more laws passed; 2) if tied, more achievement points (each proposal adds its weight according to its outcome: an approved new law or constitutional amendment is worth 3, an approved amendment 2, an approved exhortation 1; those that move forward add a part); 3) if they are still tied, the better rating. The rating (from 0 to 100) measures effectiveness: how well what they submitted fared, on average.

They introduced bills, but their proposals are stalled

Submitting is not enough: you also have to lobby the committee and get the votes. Here are those who have proposals that passed the legal deadline without review and none approved, and those who submitted proposals that look like a sham. Letting something freeze is not the same as being against: that is why they are in yellow, except for shams, which are flagged separately. Whoever fakes support does not appear among the best-rated people. Number 1 is the one with the most frozen proposals.

No one has frozen proposals for now.

How do we calculate the rating?

See the full methodology, with examples and academic sources

1. Not all proposals are worth the same. An amendment to the Constitution or a new law weighs 3; an amendment to a law or code, 2; an exhortation or point of agreement, 1; and a position statement, 0.5. It is an adaptation of the Multidimensional Index of Significance (Bárcena, Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, 2019), which distinguishes high-impact proposals from symbolic ones.

2. What happened to each one matters. Approved adds 100; reviewed by the committee, 60; on time, 35; delayed, 15; rejected, 5; and frozen, 0. The rating is the average, giving each proposal the weight of its significance. Position statements are not voted on, so they are not included in the rating.

3. Colors. Green: achieves results. Blue: their proposals move forward. Yellow: submitted, but their proposals are frozen or stalled (a lack of push, not necessarily bad faith). Red: submitted or backed proposals against of LGBTTTIQANB+ rights. Gray: stayed silent, without submitting or backing anything.

4. Allies who drive and allies who support. Submitting a proposal is worth twice as much as signing it in support. Those who submit bills champion the agenda; those who only sign, submit exhortations or take a position support it.

70 or more: effective · 45 to 69: moving forward · 25 to 44: waiting · less than 25: submitted, no progress. We only count proposals on LGBTTTIQANB+ rights followed by this observatory, not all their legislative work. We measure progress in Congress; whether a law is then fulfilled in people’s lives requires an impact evaluation ex post like the one proposed by Transparencia Mexicana (2023).

First those who got their bills approved; then, by rating. Only instruments the person presented count (not sign-ons). “Approved” means the Plenary voted for it by majority or it has already been published.

Allies and non-allies in Querétaro

Who has put their name in favor of our rights in this congress, and who against.

16aliadas y aliados · 16 impulsan
0not allies
9stayed silent

Drives: introduced bills in favor. Supports: submitted exhortations or position statements, or spoke out in favor publicly. Signed without speaking out: signed in support, but did not submit anything or speak out in favor publicly; signing or voting is not enough to be an ally. Not an ally: submitted or backed at least one proposal against, or spoke out against publicly. Fakes support: signed or submitted in favor, but speaks out against publicly. Silence: in office, without introducing or backing any proposal on these rights.

Allies

Ranked by points: each proposal in favor adds its weight (3, 2, 1 or 0.5 depending on its scope) and is worth half if they only signed it in support.

Not allies

We have not recorded proposals against rights in what we track.

Stayed silent

They neither submitted nor signed in support of any proposal, not even on difficult issues. Silence is also a position.

By party

Allies Not allies Silence

“No party”: deputies with no party or parliamentary group, or with no party in the official document. Independent candidacies are counted separately. Tap a party to see its profile.

Organized citizens: 1 organization or citizen took part in these proposals (1 in favor). They are not deputies: we show them in their own section. See the citizens

We only count proposals on LGBTTTIQANB+ rights followed by this observatory and the support signatures recorded on them; Plenary votes are not included.

Organized citizens in Querétaro

Civil society organizations, collectives and citizens who presented or supported proposals in this congress. They are not legislators or parties: they do advocacy and have their own record.

How to read the traffic light

We count the calendar days from when an instrument is presented until the committee reports on it. We flag a lag at 90 and the freezer at 180.

Legal basis: La Ley Orgánica del Poder Legislativo del Estado de Querétaro (última reforma publicada en P.O. No. 34 del 18-IV-2025) no fija un plazo para que las comisiones dictaminen ni prevé prórroga. Solo regula la reasignación de asuntos. Art. 47, fr. II: una iniciativa puede reasignarse a otra comisión si hay inactividad injustificada de al menos 4 meses desde su turno. Art. 154: si pasan más de 90 días hábiles desde el turno sin que la presidencia convoque a sesión, la Presidencia de la Mesa Directiva puede reasignar el asunto. Art. 44: el turno debe hacerse dentro de 7 días hábiles. Art. 34: los plazos se cuentan en días hábiles. No existe un Reglamento interior separado. See the law (opens in another tab)
