Legislative elections were held in Mexico on 7 June 2015,[1] alongside municipal elections.
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.[2] Constitutional reforms in 2014 led to the creation of the National Electoral Institute, replacing the Federal Electoral Institute.
Traditionally elections had taken place on the first Sunday of July, but in 2015 were set to the first Sunday of June.[3]
For several months, even before the pre-campaign and the campaign began, which opened on April 5, the midterm elections occupied a large part of the efforts and time of the broad Mexican political spectrum.
However, this has not only taken up the customary amount of time on radio ads, TV shows, and rallies to disparage the rival political party or make promises of certain actions. Unfortunately, a number of participants and de facto powers emerged who attempted to control and exert pressure on authorities, candidates, and anonymous voters through the use of violence. During these months, it became even clearer how organized crime and political power are connected.
There have been about 22 reported killings across the country, possibly involving campaign coordinators, precandidates, and candidates. Notable cases included the June 2 campaign of Miguel Ángel Luna Munguía, the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) candidate for federal deputy in the state of Mexico, and the May 27 campaign of Israel Hernández Fabela,[4] the PRI candidate for local representative for the Federal District's campaign coordinator.
In certain parts of this 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]
Several violent attacks occurred before the 2015 elections, some of these violent acts were:
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.[19]
