Legislative elections were held in Mexico on 7 June 2015, [1] alongside municipal elections.
Traditionally elections had taken place on the first Sunday of July, but in 2015 were set to the first Sunday of June. [2]
The 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies were elected by two methods; 300 were elected in single-member constituencies and 200 by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency. [3] Constitutional reforms in 2014 led to the creation of the National Electoral Institute, replacing the Federal Electoral Institute.
There were around 22 reported killings across the country, possibly involving campaign coordinators, precandidates and candidates. Notable cases included the 2 June campaign of Miguel Ángel Luna Munguía, the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) candidate for federal deputy in the state of Mexico, and the 27 May campaign of Israel Hernández Fabela, [4] the PRI candidate for local representative for the Federal District's campaign coordinator.
In certain parts of the country that had already experienced significant governance issues, the atmosphere before the elections was even more tense and violent. The states of Oaxaca, Michoacán, Jalisco and Guerrero were notable among them. Since drug trafficking organizations and other organized crime elements control significant regions, the state security forces stationed there engage in activities and operations that create extremely dangerous and unique situations for citizens, like the violent clashes with the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel that occurred in Jalisco at the beginning of May. The cartel demonstrated significant firepower, shooting down a Cougar helicopter of the Mexican Army, in which nine troops died, mostly members of the special forces and the Federal Police. [5] [6]
Violent attacks occurring before the 2015 elections included:
Protocol to Address Political Violence against women
The challenges that women face in exercising their political and electoral rights arose from the violent circumstances surrounding the 2015 election cycle. To that end, the Protocol was signed in conjunction with a number of institutions, including FEPADE, the Court Electoral of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, the Executive Commission for Attention to Victims and the National Institute for Women, among others, with the goal of fostering equality, non-discrimination and non-violence in political and electoral spaces, as well as the appropriate exercise of political and electoral rights [18] by women.
