This article reviews the counting process & tallying the electoral law stipulates as faculty & the obligation of the Federal Electoral Institute, to remedy the arithmetical unstableness that under certain conditions could tarnish the clarity in the final verdict in the presidential election in 2006 in Mexico, as well as the powers of purification later on the part of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judiciary of the Federation. It is reviewed until where these institutions met with the aim of purification & revision of the pack- ages & electoral records to allow full certainty about the will of the voters issued at the polls, & if there was sufficient completeness from the conditions specified in the law & from the conditions that proved to be very closed between first & second places in the presidential contest. It evaluates how far the mistakes of computation, determined from the criteria used by the judges of the TEPJF, were unable or could affect the certainty of the result, in which case it would offend the guiding principle of certainty, given in article 41 of the Constitution as a prerequisite for validating the election.
