Kennedy and John F. Kennedy School of Government in Harvard University, and as director of the Federal Electoral Institute and INEGI,[12] where he helped the realization of the Primera Encuesta Nacional de Cultura Política y Prácticas Ciudadanas.[13] On 26 May 2010, Poiré was named undersecretary of the Office of Population, Migration, and Religious Affairs, and later formed part of the Federal Public Administration.[14]
