Why Voting Matters
Why does voting matter in Mexico? Because every eligible Mexican voter holds exactly the same power: one vote. On June 6, 2027, Mexican voters will choose federal deputies and take part in state and local elections. Those choices shape public services, taxes, safety and the economy, and turnout is how ordinary people show up for them.
Turnout was about 59.7% in the 2023–2024 electoral process, lower than the 62% turnout of 2012 and 2018. That means roughly four in ten registered voters did not take part, an enormous untapped voice.
Local races are often decided by small margins. Check that you are registered, make a plan to vote, and bring a friend.
Voter Assistance Resources
Need help voting in Mexico? Call INETEL, the free INE helpline, at 800 433 2000 to ask about your credencial para votar, find your casilla (polling station) and report problems. You can also visit an INE module in your state.
Voters with disabilities may request assistance, and polling stations are required to provide accessible conditions. Mexicans living abroad can register to vote from abroad for certain elections.
If you see vote buying, coercion or other crimes, report them to the Fiscalía Especializada para la Atención de Delitos Electorales (FEDE). Contact details and rules can change, so confirm everything with the official election authority linked on this page before you vote.
Sign up to be an election worker
Election workers (often called poll workers) keep voting running smoothly in Mexico. Most are paid for their time, get free training, and help their neighbors cast their ballots. You can work a full day, a shorter shift, or help before Election Day. Mexico's National Electoral Institute (INE) hires electoral supervisors and trainer-assistants for each election.
