Mexico Election Results: Live Updates

Mexico is poised for a landmark election on June 2, with historic implications for the nation’s political landscape. For the first time, Mexico will elect a female president, with the top two candidates being women. This will be the largest election in Mexico’s history, with nearly 99 million voters casting ballots for more than 20,000 local, state and congressional posts, as well as the presidency.

On election night, preliminary results will be provided in real time. The vote counts that determine the final result will take place from June 5 to June 8.

As Mexico heads to the polls, voters are deeply concerned about rising cartel violence, which has emerged as a top election issue. Despite some efforts, the current government has struggled to curb the rampant killings, disappearances and extortion that plague the country. This year’s election season has been particularly bloody, with dozens of mayoral candidates and local officials killed.

Meet the major candidates

Corruption remains another critical concern. Public institutions continue to lack transparency, and both federal and state governments have weakened key anti corruption agencies by slashing their budgets and reducing their autonomy.

Results by State

The table below shows preliminary results from the June 2 election in each state grouped by the winner of the last general election. In 2018, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s Morena party won by a margin 15 percentage points or more in 25 out of 32 states and only lost the state of Guanajuato.
