The 2024 Mexican local elections were held on 2 June 2024, during which voters elected eight governors for six-year terms, the Head of Government of Mexico City for a six-year term, deputies for thirty-one state congresses, and officials for 1,580 municipalities. [1] These elections took place concurrently with the country's general election. [2]
Prior to the elections, the country's two main coalitions, Juntos Hacemos Historia and Va por México , were succeeded by Sigamos Haciendo Historia and Fuerza y Corazón por México , which constituted the same parties as their predecessors. [3] [4] Of the governorships up for election, Sigamos Haciendo Historia currently held six, Fuerza y Corazón por México held two, and Citizens' Movement – which was participating without coalition support [5] – held one. These were the first set of gubernatorial elections where most of the seats were held by a MORENA-led coalition.
In what was described as a "cherry tsunami", [6] [7] the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition successfully defended its existing gubernatorial seats, flipped Yucatán from the National Action Party, [8] and secured majorities in 27 of the 31 state congresses up for election. [9] This would facilitate the passage of constitutional amendments, which require approval from a majority of state legislatures.
Each state's governor is elected by plurality voting in a single round. Article 116 of the Mexican Constitution limts each governor to a single six-year term, prohibiting anyone who has previously served as governor, even on a caretaker basis, from running for or holding the office again. Swearing-in dates for governors vary by state, as determined by each state's constitution. [10]
Since January 2024, at least 27 aspiring candidates for political office have been killed, while at least 828 non-lethal attacks on candidates have been recorded. This has led to the government providing security guards to around 560 candidates and election officials. [11] Around 27,000 personnel of the Mexican Armed Forces and the National Guard have also been deployed to secure the electoral process. [12]
In Maravatio, Michoacán, Dagoberto García, the head of the MORENA party in the municipality and an aspiring candidate for mayor, disappeared in October 2023 and was found dead the following month. On 26 February 2024, Miguel Ángel Zavala, another aspiring mayoral candidate of MORENA in the town, was found fatally shot in his car. The following day, Armando Pérez Luna, PAN's mayoral candidate in the same town, was also found shot dead in his car. [13]
On 5 January, the PRI candidate for mayor of Suchiate, Chiapas, and the Citizens' Movement candidate for mayor in Armeria, Colima, were killed in separate attacks. In Guerrero, Alfredo González, a mayoral candidate in Atoyac de Álvarez, was killed in early March, followed by Tomás Morales, a prospective mayoral candidate of MORENA in Chilapa de Álvarez, on 12 March. [14]
In late March, the mayor of Churumuco, Michoacán, was shot dead in Morelia. [15] On 1 April, Bertha Gisela Gaytán, a mayoral candidate for MORENA, was shot dead while campaigning outside Celaya, Guanajuato, along with city council candidate Adrián Guerrero. [16] On 19 April, Noé Ramos Ferretiz, the joint PAN-PRI mayoral candidate for Ciudad Mante, Tamaulipas, was found fatally stabbed, while Alberto García, a mayoral candidate in San José Independencia, Oaxaca, was found beaten to death. [17] On 16 May, Lucero López Maza, a mayoral candidate in La Concordia, Chiapas, was killed along with five others during a gun attack on a campaign rally. [18] On 28 May, Ricardo Arizmendi, an alternate mayoral candidate in Cuautla, Morelos, was shot dead by gunmen on motorcycles. [19] On 31 May, Jorge Huerta Cabrera, a mayoral candidate in Izúcar de Matamoros, Puebla, was shot dead in a gun attack at a campaign rally that also injured his wife and another person. [11]
On 1 June, authorities ordered the suspension of voting in the municipalities of Pantelhó and Chicomuselo in Chiapas, citing the burning of election papers in the former by unknown individuals on 31 May and threats against poll workers by gang members. [20] Hours before polling opened on 2 June, Israel Delgado, a candidate for the municipal council of Cuitzeo, Michoacan, was shot dead by motorcycled gunmen. [21] While voting was underway, two people were killed in shootings at polling stations at Coyomeapan and Tlanalapan in Puebla. [22]
On 22 May, a stage being used by Citizens' Movement mayoral candidate Lorenia Canavati for a campaign rally that was also attended by presidential candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez was toppled by strong winds in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, killing nine people including a child, and injuring 121 others. Álvarez Máynez was unharmed. [23]
All 27 seats of the Congress of Aguascalientes were up for election, where 18 were elected through first-past-the-post voting and 9 through proportional representation. [1] Deputies were elected to serve three-year terms in the LXVI Legislature and took office on 15 September 2024.

[33] [34] While councils in Chicomuselo and Capitán Luis Ángel Vidal were elected in August 2024, elections in Pantelhó were canceled again due to continued threats of violence.

Voters elected a new governor to serve a single six-year term through first-past-the-post voting, with the term beginning on 6 December 2024.
Pablo Lemus Navarro, the municipal president of Guadalajara, was nominated by Citizens' Movement (MC). Claudia Delgadillo González, federal deputy for the 11th district of Jalisco, was nominated by Sigamos Haciendo Historia en Jalisco, comprising the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), the Labor Party (PT), and two local parties. Laura Haro Ramírez, federal deputy for the first electoral region, was nominated by Fuerza y Corazón por Jalisco, comprising the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD).
Polling consistently indicated that the gubernatorial race was primarily between Pablo Lemus Navarro and Claudia Delgadillo González, both of whom held a significant lead over Laura Haro Ramírez. Over the course of the campaign, the gap between Lemus Navarro and Delgadillo González narrowed considerably, with several pollsters reporting that the race had tightened to within the margin of error. [50] [51]
Pablo Lemus Navarro won the gubernatorial election by a margin of 5 points, approximately 200,000 votes, ensuring that Citizens' Movement retained the governorship. [52] Claudia Delgadillo González contested the results, citing alleged irregularities, including improper handling of ballots, and accused the Electoral and Citizen Participation Institute of the State of Jalisco of complicity. She sought to have the election annulled, but federal electoral authorities dismissed her claims due to a lack of evidence. [53] On 16 October 2024, the Federal Electoral Tribunal confirmed Lemus Navarro's victory. [54]

The politics of Mexico function within the framework of a federal presidential representative democratic republic whose government is based on a multi-party congressional system, where the President of Mexico is both head of state and head of government. The federal government represents the United Mexican States. It is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial, established by the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, published in 1917. The constituent states of the federation must also have a republican government based on a congressional system established by their respective constitutions.
The Congress of the Union, formally known as the General Congress of the United Mexican States, is the legislature of the federal government of Mexico. It consists of two chambers: the Senate of the Republic and the Chamber of Deputies. Its 628 members meet in Mexico City.
The Ecologist Green Party of Mexico is a green political party in Mexico. Founded in 1986, the party is associated with Jorge González Torres and his son Jorge Emilio González Martínez. It has seldom gotten more than 10% of the vote nationwide, but in the 21st century has joined alliances with different major parties.
Elections in Mexico are held for officials at federal, state, and municipal levels. At the federal level, the nation's head of state, the president, is directly elected with the popular vote by all Mexican citizens for a six-year non-renewable term. All members of the bicameral federal legislature, the Congress of the Union, are also elected by all Mexican citizens. At the state level, each state has an elective governor and unicameral congress. At the municipal level, the municipal presidents are also elected by their citizens. Since 2016, a constitutional amendment has designed Mexico City to be a fully autonomous entity on par with the states. Its city mayor, city congress, and borough mayors are elected by their citizens in a similar fashion to those states.
The Legislative Assembly is the legislative branch of the government of El Salvador.
The Honorable Congress of the State of Nuevo León is the unicameral legislature of the government of the Mexican state of Nuevo León. Each three-year legislative term consists of 42 deputies, with 26 elected through relative majority and 16 through proportional representation.
General elections were held in Mexico on 1 July 2018. Voters elected a new president to serve a six-year term, 128 members of the Senate for six years, and 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies for three years. It was one of the largest election days in Mexican history, with most of the nation's states holding state and local elections on the same day, including nine governorships, with over 3,400 positions subject to elections at all levels of government. It was the most violent campaign Mexico has experienced in recent history, with 130 political figures killed since September 2017.
The National Regeneration Movement, commonly referred to by its syllabic abbreviation Morena, is a major left-wing populist political party in Mexico. As of 2023, it is the largest political party in Mexico by number of members; it has been the ruling party since 2018, and it won a second term in the 2024 general election.
Rutilio Cruz Escandón Cadenas is a Mexican lawyer and politician from Chiapas. He is affiliated with MORENA and was the Governor of Chiapas from 2018 to 2024. Before becoming governor, he represented Chiapas as a senator of the LVIII and LIX and as a federal deputy in the LX Legislature.
The electoral regions of Mexico are geographic areas composed of various states used for the election of the 200 proportional representation legislators to the Chamber of Deputies.
Legislative elections were held in Mexico on 6 June 2021. Voters elected 500 deputies to sit in the Chamber of Deputies for the 65th Congress. These elections took place concurrently with the country's state elections.
During the 2019 Baja California state elections the following government positions were open for election:
The 2021 Mexican local elections, held on June 6, 2021, saw voters electing fifteen governors for six-year terms, deputies for thirty state congresses, and officials for 1,910 municipalities. These elections took place concurrently with the country's federal legislative election. The elections, alongside the federal legislative election, were one of the most violent in the country's history, with 91 candidates assassinated prior to election day.
Sergio Carlos Gutiérrez Luna is a Mexican lawyer and politician serving as the President of the Chamber of Deputies, a position he reassumed following the death of Ifigenia Martínez y Hernández, after having previously held the role from 2021 to 2022.
The 2022 Mexican local elections, held on June 5, 2022, saw voters electing six governors for a six-year term, deputies for one state congress, and officials for 39 municipalities.
General elections were held in Mexico on 2 June 2024. Voters elected a new president to serve a six-year term, all 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies, and all 128 members of the Senate of the Republic. These elections took place concurrently with the 2024 state elections.
The 2023 Mexican local elections, held on 4 June 2023, saw voters electing two governors for six-year terms and deputies for one state congress.
The LXVI Legislature of the Congress of the Union is the current session of the legislative branch of Mexico, composed of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic. It convened on 1 September 2024, and will end on 31 August 2027, covering the final month of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's term in office and the first three years of Claudia Sheinbaum's presidency.
The 2024 Mexican Senate election was held on 2 June 2024 as part of the 2024 general election. All 128 seats in the Senate of Mexico were up for election, with the winners serving six-year terms in the 66th and 67th Congresses. Those elected for the first time will be eligible for re-election in the 2030 election.
Elections to the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico were held on 2 June 2024 as part of the 2024 general election, with all 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies up for election. The winners will be elected for three-year terms to serve in the 66th Congress.
