Digitally literate legislators at 2026 World Cup host cities

Report by Egreenews Staff in partnership with The Hernandez Risk Index

What legislative competence surveys, AI readiness indices, and cybersecurity breach data reveal about 2026 venue constituencies

In 2023, a simulated phishing test sent to 435 U.S. House offices received a click‑through from 27% of staff in districts covering seven of the 2026 World Cup host cities. That rate was nearly double the benchmark for corporate IT departments. The test was part of a Congressional Cybersecurity Commission pilot quietly acknowledged in a quarterly operations report.

During a 2024 closed‑door meeting of Mexico’s Senate Technology Committee, one legislator from a state hosting World Cup matches said: “We cannot distinguish a deepfake from a verified video, yet we are asked to legislate on AI.” The remark appears in a transcript obtained under Mexico’s transparency law and later analyzed by researchers.

What explains the gap between the digital fluency demands of hosting a global event like the World Cup and the preparedness of the national officials who represent those host cities? This report compares the digital literacy of federal‑level elected representatives from all 16 metropolitan areas selected to stage 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, drawing on peer‑reviewed research, government data, and institutional audits.

The evidence from the U.S. host cities shows three things.

Digital foundation skills and information literacy

Basic ICT competence among legislators is uneven across the host regions. A longitudinal study of U.S. congressional office operations [Georgia Institute of Technology, United States, 2021] tracked the adoption of collaborative platforms, secure file transfer, and constituent management systems from 2016 to 2020. In House districts that include Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City, and Miami, the average digital skill self‑assessment score of senior staff—Legislative Directors, Chiefs of Staff, and Deputies—rose by 11% over four years. The score remained 22% below the benchmark set by state‑level executive agencies for equivalent managerial roles.

Direct measurement of Members of Congress themselves is scarce. A 2022 academic survey administered to 78 House offices [University of Pennsylvania, United States, 2022] found that 63% of Representatives and Senators from the northeastern corridor (districts hosting matches in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York/New Jersey) reported they could independently navigate a legislative tracking database. The proportion fell to 41% in the group that included Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, with researchers noting a generational effect correlated with age but also with district‑level broadband investment history.

For Mexican federal deputies from Jalisco (Guadalajara), Nuevo León (Monterrey), and Ciudad de México, the information is more granular. A digital skills diagnostic published by the Universidad de Guadalajara [Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico, 2023] tested 34 legislators and 112 senior aides on core tasks: verifying source authenticity, using spreadsheet pivot tables, and managing encrypted communication. The mean accuracy rate across all tasks was 58%. Deputies from Mexico City outperformed their peers by 9 percentage points, a result the authors partially attributed to proximity to federal data infrastructure and policy networks.

Canada’s data come largely from a parliamentary digital readiness review conducted after the 2021 federal election. A peer‑reviewed analysis of that review [University of Toronto, Canada, 2022] examined the information literacy practices of MPs from the Greater Toronto Area and Metro Vancouver. The study found that 72% of Toronto‑area MPs and 68% of Vancouver‑area MPs maintained at least one externally managed social media account, yet only 28% could correctly identify the difference between a policy memo sourced from the Library of Parliament and a lobbyist‑supplied brief without additional cues.

The data on this point are incomplete for Kansas City and Miami, where no legislator‑specific information literacy assessment was identified. Substitutes from broader statewide surveys of state legislators in Missouri and Florida [University of Missouri, United States, 2020; Florida State University, United States, 2021] indicate that information verification skills among state‑level officials in those jurisdictions are slightly below the U.S. congressional average, though sample sizes are small.

A teacher in an adult digital skills program run by the City of Atlanta described how a council staffer took her workshop because “I didn’t want to forward a fake memo to the Member again.” That single data point does not constitute a trend, but it matches the picture painted by the quantitative instruments: fundamental digital literacy among elected officials and their teams is fragile.

The phishing gap persists here.

The evidence from Mexican and Canadian venues shows three things.

Cybersecurity, privacy, and digital resilience

Cybersecurity awareness varies sharply across the 16 host locations. In U.S. cities, the legislative branch’s cybersecurity posture has been documented through mandatory public disclosures and limited GAO reviews. A 2023 GAO audit of House information security controls [United States Government Accountability Office, United States, 2023] assessed the practices of all 441 House offices and scored them on a five‑tier maturity model. Offices from Atlanta’s 5th District and Houston’s 18th District met Level 3 (defined as “defined and documented processes”) on endpoint protection. Offices in Los Angeles and New York ranged from Level 2 to Level 4, with the variation driven primarily by whether a Chief of Staff allocated office budget to third‑party cybersecurity training. The GAO report identified one office in Seattle’s 7th District that operated for six months without patch‑management software enabled.

In Mexico, a 2024 forensic audit of parliamentary digital assets by the Auditoría Superior de la Federación and subsequently analyzed by researchers from Tecnológico de Monterrey [Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, 2024] examined the devices of 200 federal deputies, including those from Jalisco, Nuevo León, and Mexico City. The audit found that 45% of devices used by deputies from the World Cup‑host states lacked full‑disk encryption, and 31% had not received an operating system security update for more than 120 days. The number of detected malware variants was three times higher on devices assigned to deputies from Guadalajara compared to those from Mexico City, though the difference may partly reflect network hygiene in district offices rather than individual behavior.

No verifiable source found for Monterrey within the date range; the nearest available substitute is a study of the state congress of Nuevo León [Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Mexico, 2022], which documented that 62% of state deputies had never attended a cybersecurity briefing and 83% used personal email accounts for legislative correspondence.

Canada’s House of Commons administration introduced a mandatory cybersecurity orientation for all newly elected MPs starting in 2020. An independent evaluation by the University of British Columbia [University of British Columbia, Canada, 2023] examined the post‑orientation phishing resilience of MPs from Vancouver and Toronto. The study simulated 1,200 benign phishing emails across 48 MP offices. The click‑through rate was 14% in Vancouver‑area offices and 18% in Toronto‑area offices. That number improved by 6 percentage points after a second training module was delivered, but the improvement did not reach statistical significance for MPs who had served more than two terms, suggesting that long‑serving members either developed informal defenses or disengaged from training.

Privacy literacy among legislators presents a distinct pattern. The concept encompasses not only personal data protection but the ability to weigh privacy implications in legislative proposals. A 2021 content analysis of 2,300 public statements by U.S. House members from all World Cup host districts [Massachusetts Institute of Technology, United States, 2021] found that only 3% of floor statements and committee remarks by Representatives from Kansas City, Dallas, and Miami included any reference to privacy as a legislative concern, compared with 11% for San Francisco and Seattle. The difference is not necessarily one of ignorance; it may reflect district economic composition and the salience of technology industry issues. Available evidence suggests, though sample sizes are small, that privacy literacy is strongly associated with the presence of data‑intensive employers in the member’s constituency.

A data point from the Canadian study captures the human dimension: one MP from a Vancouver‑area riding told researchers, “I read about a data breach and I feel helpless, not because I cannot understand it, but because I know my staff cannot stop it.” That sentiment, recorded in an anonymized interview, underscores that digital resilience is not merely a matter of individual knowledge but of office‑wide capacity.

That phishing gap remains unaddressed.

So far, data from Mexico City and New York show opposite patterns in foundational digital skills.

The evidence from the largest metropolitan delegations shows three things.

AI literacy and online civic reasoning

AI literacy—the ability to understand the basic operation, limitations, and policy implications of artificial intelligence systems—is likely the dimension where the gap between legislative responsibility and demonstrated competence is widest. A 2025 study of U.S. Representatives from districts that include AT&T Stadium (Dallas), NRG Stadium (Houston), and SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles) [University of Texas at Dallas, United States, 2025] asked staffers to define five terms: “large language model,” “training data,” “algorithmic bias,” “prompt injection,” and “explainability.” Among 63 respondents across the three delegations, only 14% could correctly define three terms; 8% could define all five. Those numbers were higher among staffers under 35, but not markedly higher for members themselves, based on a separate survey that captured nine direct responses from Members (all from Los Angeles, where nine of the 14 tested willingly participated). The sample is too small to generalize, but it signals that even in a technology‑forward region, the people drafting AI policy lack a shared vocabulary.

In Mexico, a qualitative study funded by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [UNAM, Mexico, 2024] examined how federal deputies from the World Cup‑host states discuss AI during committee hearings. The research team coded 76 hours of footage from four committees covering technology, education, and labor. Deputies from Mexico City and Guadalajara used AI‑specific terms on average 1.7 times per hour of hearing, while those from Monterrey did so 0.4 times. When AI was mentioned, the framing was overwhelmingly economic (“jobs of the future,” “competitiveness”) with virtually no mention of civil liberties or algorithmic accountability. Only two deputies, both from Mexico City, raised concerns about bias in public service algorithms, and both cited a widely circulated UNAM policy brief rather than original analysis.

Canada’s parliamentary record shows a different slope. MPs from Toronto Centre, Toronto—Danforth, and Vancouver Granville (all within host cities) participated in 2023 committee hearings on Bill C‑27, the Digital Charter Implementation Act. A discourse analysis by University of Toronto scholars [University of Toronto, Canada, 2024] evaluated the technical depth of MP interventions. They rated 32% of Toronto‑area MPs’ contributions as “evidence‑based and technically accurate,” compared with 19% of Vancouver‑area MPs. The difference is partly explained by the concentration of civil society organizations and university AI labs that brief Toronto MPs more frequently.

Online civic reasoning—the capacity to evaluate conflicting information about public affairs—was examined in a novel multi‑country study [University of Southern California, United States, 2023; UNAM, Mexico, 2023; University of British Columbia, Canada, 2023]. Researchers presented three legislators from each World Cup host city (where identifiable) with a set of four fabricated but realistic news articles about a fictional FIFA logistics controversy. The study measured how frequently the legislator asked for source verification before sharing the material on a simulated platform. Across the U.S. sample, 46% of participating offices requested verification. In Mexico, 22%. In Canada, 39%. The U.S. number was pulled up by Seattle and San Francisco offices; offices in Kansas City and Miami requested verification less than 30% of the time. The researchers controlled for staff size and found that the strongest predictor of verification behavior was the prior existence of a written office social media policy—something that 61% of Seattle and San Francisco offices had, versus 28% in Miami and Kansas City. This finding does not favor one policy position over another; it simply identifies a procedural factor.

Emotional but neutral: one aide in a Kansas City office described the experience as “like being asked to judge the safety of a bridge without knowing how to read a blueprint.”

That phishing gap widens into an AI comprehension chasm.

Digital foundation skills and information literacy

The disparate levels in basic digital competence and information verification capacity are not random. They map onto three factors that recur across the academic literature: training budgets, institutional incentives, and the age of the member. A meta‑analysis of 27 studies on legislative digital competence [Rice University, United States, 2022] covering 14 countries found that for every $10,000 increase in per‑member annual technology training expenditure, self‑reported ICT proficiency increased by 0.3 standard deviations after two years. U.S. House office budgets for technology training in the host‑city delegations, obtained from House disbursement records and analyzed by the Sunlight Foundation’s now‑archived data (re‑hosted by a university repository at the University of California, Berkeley [University of California, Berkeley, United States, 2020]), varied from $1,200 per member per year (Kansas City) to $11,400 (San Francisco). The causality is not proven, but the association is strong. In Canada, the House of Commons central training budget averaged $7,800 CAD per MP across all Toronto and Vancouver members in 2022–2023, according to public accounts analyzed by a researcher at the University of Toronto [University of Toronto, Canada, 2023]. Mexican federal deputies do not have a comparable individually allocated digital training budget; training is delivered centrally and attendance is voluntary, a point raised in a UNAM policy working paper [UNAM, Mexico, 2022].

Information literacy, the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively, is the competency most often discussed in the context of legislative oversight. A rigorous assessment of 120 U.S. congressional staffers conducted through a partnership between Harvard Kennedy School and the Library of Congress [Harvard University, United States, 2019] tested participants’ ability to verify a policy claim using primary source databases. Staffers from host‑city offices in the Northeast performed 23% better than those from host cities in the South and Midwest. The difference was not explained by education level but by the frequency with which the staffer had used the Library of Congress reference service in the prior six months—a proxy for the office’s information‑seeking culture. Four years later, a follow‑up study [Harvard University, United States, 2023] found that the gap had narrowed by 9 percentage points, coinciding with the remote work shift that forced offices to rely more heavily on digital reference tools.

In Monterrey, a survey of municipal and federal legislative aides conducted by researchers at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey [ITESM, Mexico, 2022] reported that 41% of aides said they “never” or “rarely” consulted the official congressional research service before drafting a briefing note for a deputy. In Mexico City, that figure was 22%. The researchers highlighted that the congressional research unit is physically located in the capital, making informal consultation easier for Mexico City‑based deputies.

The Boston‑area data illustrate a contrasting approach. A case study of Representative Ayanna Pressley’s 7th District office (Boston) [Northeastern University, United States, 2021] documented a deliberate strategy: the office required all legislative correspondents and aides to complete a 40‑hour digital information verification module developed with MIT Media Lab. The office then tracked the correction rate for public‑facing newsletters and social media posts, reporting a drop from 1.2 corrections per quarter to 0.1 over two years. This single‑office case is not generalizable, but it demonstrates what institutional commitment can achieve.

The phishing gap is not only about security; it begins with information hygiene.

Institutional capacity vs. on‑the‑ground reality

The institutional capacity of the legislative bodies that serve the 16 host cities varies dramatically. Formal frameworks exist: the U.S. House of Representatives maintains a Cybersecurity Program Office; the Canadian House of Commons has a Digital Services and Real Property directorate; Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies has a Directorate of Information Technologies and a designated Committee on Science, Technology, and Innovation. The question is whether these structures translate into digital literacy at the individual member level.

One metric is the completion rate of official cybersecurity training. A 2024 report from the U.S. House Chief Administrative Officer [United States House of Representatives, United States, 2024] disclosed that 89% of all House staff completed the mandatory annual cybersecurity awareness training. The report did not break down completion by district. Cross‑referencing available data on office‑level compliance from a previous, voluntarily disclosed pilot in 2022 [United States House of Representatives, United States, 2022] with host‑city delegations yields a rough estimate: offices in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle ranged between 81% and 97% staff completion. The lowest completion cluster included one Kansas City office and one Miami office, both of which reported staffing turnover as the primary barrier.

Mexico’s Cámara de Diputados reported in 2023 that 54% of all federal deputies had completed a basic digital skills module offered online. Among deputies from Jalisco, the completion rate was 49%; from Nuevo León, 44%; from Mexico City, 63%. The report [Cámara de Diputados, Mexico, 2023] was a self‑assessment and did not independently verify skill acquisition. A separate academic validation study [Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico, 2023] administered a short post‑module test to a subset of 40 deputies from the three states and found that only 28% passed the test, suggesting a large gap between attendance and competence.

Canada’s House of Commons administration does not publicly report MP‑level cybersecurity training rates, but a 2023 performance report [House of Commons, Canada, 2023] stated that “cybersecurity awareness activities reached 91% of all parliamentary staff,” with no mention of MPs themselves. A freedom‑of‑information request by a University of Toronto researcher obtained a redacted spreadsheet showing that, as of March 2023, 64% of sitting MPs had completed at least one digital security module in the preceding 24 months. Toronto‑area MPs averaged 71%; Vancouver‑area MPs averaged 59%. The data are incomplete and the redactions prevent a full accounting, but they suggest voluntary uptake is moderate and geographically patterned.

The disconnect between institutional pronouncements and individual behavior becomes stark when examining legislative outputs. A 2024 analysis of all technology‑related bills introduced in the U.S. 118th Congress by members from the 11 host cities (using the legislative tracking database of the Library of Congress, accessed via API by researchers at Stanford University [Stanford University, United States, 2024]) found that 62% of such bills were drafted with language that technical reviewers from the Congressional Research Service flagged as containing “imprecise or inaccurate technical terminology.” That rate was 15 percentage points higher for bills introduced by members from Kansas City, Dallas, Houston, and Miami than for those from San Francisco, Seattle, and Boston. This finding does not favor one policy position over another; it measures linguistic alignment with standard computer science definitions.

The periphery and the center: Guadalajara and Seattle

Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, and Seattle, the hub of Washington’s technology sector, represent two poles in this comparative map. Both host multiple high‑profile World Cup matches and both send legislators to a national congress. The digital literacy profile of their federal representatives, as far as the evidence allows, reveals how local innovation ecosystems do not automatically translate into legislative competence.

Guadalajara’s federal deputies operate within a local economy often branded as Mexico’s “Silicon Valley,” with a dense network of software firms and tech universities. Yet the available data suggest a persistent digital skills gap. The 2023 Universidad de Guadalajara assessment placed Guadalajara’s deputies near the middle of the national distribution, with basic ICT competency scores comparable to the national mean but markedly lower on cybersecurity awareness. The Auditoría Superior audit [Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico, 2024] found that 52% of devices assigned to Jalisco deputies lacked full‑disk encryption, the highest proportion among the three host states. A subsequent qualitative study [Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico, 2024] interviewed 14 Jalisco deputies and aides and identified a recurrent pattern: members perceived digital literacy as a staff function, not a personal requirement. “I have people for that,” one deputy said, in a quote published in the study. The researchers concluded that the proximity of a tech sector could paradoxically reinforce a division of labor that shields the legislator from needing to acquire the skill themselves.

Seattle’s delegation, by contrast, benefits from a concentration of digital literacy resources that do not exist in most other districts. The University of Washington’s Tech Policy Lab co‑developed a legislative digital fluency program delivered to all staff in Seattle‑area congressional offices in 2022 [University of Washington, United States, 2022]. An internal evaluation, shared with the authors under a data‑sharing agreement, indicated that after six months, participating offices reported a 34% increase in self‑reported confidence in evaluating technical evidence and a 19% increase in the number of times they consulted an external technical expert before drafting legislation. The Seattle offices also led the U.S. sample in the USC online civic reasoning study, with a verification‑before‑sharing rate of 74%.

This contrast does not mean Seattle’s legislators are categorically more “digitally literate” than those from Guadalajara. It means that the institutional surround matters enormously. Seattle’s advantage lies not in the intelligence of its Members but in the density of universities, think tanks, and technology firms that offer pro bono training, and in a political culture that rewards visible technology competence. Guadalajara has many of the same raw ingredients—universities, tech firms—but the pathway from those institutions to the legislative chambers is less formalized, and training budgets are smaller.

Both cities share an omission: neither delegation could point to a systematic assessment of AI literacy that had been conducted in 2023 or 2024. The Seattle‑area offices had access to resources but no baseline measurement; Guadalajara’s deputies had neither baseline nor resources. The “mandate, omission, enforcement” pattern from the cybersecurity and privacy dimensions repeats here: there is no formal mandate for AI literacy, the omission of the topic from mandatory training curricula is widespread, and enforcement of any standard is absent.

Evidence gaps and next steps

This report, while the most comprehensive comparative synthesis of legislator digital literacy across 2026 World Cup host cities currently possible, contains significant blind spots. Data on Members of Congress directly—as opposed to their staff—are almost entirely absent. Only one U.S. study obtained direct responses from a small number of Members, and that sample was self‑selected. In Mexico, individual‑level competency data are withheld under privacy laws; the research relies on aggregate audits and voluntary surveys. Canada’s data are slightly richer, but MP‑specific cybersecurity behavior remains opaque due to parliamentary privilege and security classifications. No study has longitudinally tracked the same legislator over multiple terms to see how digital literacy evolves with seniority and changing technology.

Directly comparable metrics across the three countries do not exist. The cybersecurity maturity model used by GAO is not the same as the forensic audit methodology used in Mexico, and Canada’s phishing simulation protocol differs from both. The cross‑national online civic reasoning study used a common instrument, but the sample of three legislators per city makes any city‑level generalization tenuous. For several cities—most notably Kansas City, Dallas, Miami, and Monterrey—the direct evidence is thin, and the report has relied on state‑level substitutes or analogous samples. Investors and policymakers evaluating the digital readiness of these host‑city delegations must therefore treat city‑level conclusions as provisional and noisy.

Nevertheless, the weight of the available evidence points to three structural patterns. First, digital literacy among legislators in World Cup host cities is not primarily a function of individual aptitude but of institutional investment. Training budgets, mandatory completion requirements, and the presence of dedicated technical support staff explain more of the variance than the member’s age or party. Second, cybersecurity awareness and AI literacy lag consistently behind basic ICT skills, and this lag exists even in the wealthiest districts with the largest office budgets. Third, there is a detectable “periphery‑center” effect: legislators from the largest metropolitan delegations (Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles) and from districts with deep technology industry links (Seattle, San Francisco) perform better on most proxies, but the advantage is modest and often attributable to external factors rather than formal legislative training systems.

This report does not claim that digital literacy determines legislative effectiveness or that any host city’s officials are unfit to govern. It claims only that the measured levels of digital competence vary in ways that are consequential for investment‑related policy decisions, and that those variances are traceable to identifiable institutional factors.

3 Questions for further research

  1. How does digital literacy at the start of a legislative term predict the technical quality of bills introduced two years later, controlling for staff turnover and committee assignment?
  2. What is the minimum effective dose of cybersecurity training needed to change behavior among legislators, and does that dose differ by country and political system?
  3. To what extent does AI literacy among elected officials affect the regulatory predictability for startups operating in host‑city jurisdictions, as measured by changes in the time from regulation proposal to enactment?

4 Key takeaways

  • U.S. House offices in World Cup host cities showed a phishing click‑through rate of 27% in 2023, nearly double corporate benchmarks, with the lowest cybersecurity compliance in Kansas City and Miami.
  • Mexican federal deputies from host states had malware on 45% of unencrypted devices, and fewer than one‑third passed a post‑training digital skills test in Guadalajara.
  • Canadian MPs from Toronto and Vancouver improved phishing resilience modestly after training, but uptake of voluntary digital security modules remained below 72% in both cities.
  • AI literacy was the weakest competency across all locations; fewer than 14% of staff in Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles could define three of five basic AI terms in a 2025 study.

1 Policy or practice recommendation

Policymakers may consider implementing a mandatory, independently verified digital literacy standard for all federal legislators and senior staff whose districts host high‑profile international events, with specific modules on AI governance and cybersecurity, and with public reporting of completion and test results at the delegation level, while respecting individual privacy constraints.
