On June 2, 2024, Mexicans go to the polls to elect their next President.
Mexico's presidential elections, or "sexenios," are an essential aspect of the country's political system that began with the creation of the 1917 Constitution following the Mexican Revolution. This laid the groundwork for democratic elections, though it took several decades for competitive, multi-party elections to truly take hold.
Over time, various political parties have shaped Mexican politics. The primary parties are:
Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI): Historically dominant in Mexican politics, the PRI governed Mexico for 71 consecutive years until 2000 and is considered centrist.
National Action Party (PAN): A center-right party, PAN has been a significant force in Mexican politics. It promotes pro-business policies and conservative social values.
Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD): A center-left party, the PRD has historically championed social justice and progressive policies.
MORENA (National Regeneration Movement): Founded in 2014 by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, MORENA is a left-wing party that has become increasingly influential.
Presidential elections in Mexico occur every six years. One unique aspect of Mexican presidential elections is that re-election is not allowed. Once a president's six-year term ends, he or she cannot run for the presidency again.
The National Electoral Institute (INE) oversees the election process, ensuring that the elections are fair and transparent.
