Episode 60: Mexico’s 2021 Midterm Elections (Guest: Javier Martin Reyes)

On June 6, Mexico will hold its midterm elections. A total of 21,368 elected positions will be on the ballot, making this the largest single-day election in Mexico’s history. The results will define Mexico’s political landscape through at least 2024, and may also determine whether President López Obrador and his political party, MORENA, will continue to hold the majority of power. Javier Martin Reyes, Professor of Constitutional Law, Election Law and Judicial Politics at CIDE, joins us to discuss the upcoming midterm elections. He will also join us -alongside other experts- in an upcoming virtual event on May 29, For more info and to register visit: https://www.bakerinstitute.org/events/2226/ For more information on the Baker Institute Center for the United States and Mexico visit our website, and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn.
