The United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce conducted its 5th Electoral Observer Mission to Mexico to witness the Federal and Concurrent Elections that Mexico celebrated on Sunday, June 2nd, 2024. The mission was composed of a group of 17 individuals from the Chamber, including Binational Members and Chamber Executive Directors, led by the Honorable Albert C. Zapanta, Chamber President and CEO. Electoral Observers, accredited by the National Electoral Institute (Instituto Nacional Electoral – INE), witnessed first-hand the electoral process in Mexico City. Additionally, two of the Chamber’s Electoral Observers were present at the Mexican Consulates in Chicago and Dallas.

After the election, the Chamber prepared a report, with a recount account of the activities and experiences of the Chamber’s delegation of Electoral Observers, including their visit to 11 voting locations (casillas) in Mexico City and Tepoztlán (State of Morelos), as well as the special voting stations at the Mexican Consulates in Chicago and Dallas.

The 2024 General Election was historic for many reasons, beginning with the record number of open positions on the ballot: In total, there were 20,708 open positions

This election was also historic because of the election of Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the first female president of Mexico. Dr. Sheinbaum was the candidate for the National Regeneration Movement (Movimiento de Regeneración Nacional – MORENA). Dr. Sheinbaum’s party ran in alliance with the Labor Party (Partido del Trabajo – PT) and the Green Party of Mexico (Partido Verde Ecologista de México – PV) which, along with MORENA, made up the Coalition “Sigamos Haciendo Historia” (Let’s Continue to Make History). Dr. Sheinbaum won with 59.75% of the vote, a landslide that affirms the current administration, led by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), the founder and leader of MORENA – Dr. Sheinbaum’s victory indicates that the majority of the Mexican populace agree with the path of MORENA.
