Mexico's Judicial Elections: Ballot Theft and Low Turnout Raise Concerns

Mexico's Judicial Elections: Low Turnout, Ballot Theft, and Security Concerns Mexico held judicial elections on June 1st, 2025, but the process was marred by low voter turnout and a significant incident in Chiapas. Over 30,000 ballots were reported stolen, according to official statements. This prompted authorities to create a security task force to monitor the remaining voting process and ensure the integrity of the elections. "The low turnout is concerning," said one election official, "but we are working to ensure the process is fair and transparent." Reports from Tlatelolco also highlighted confusion among voters about the different types of ballots. Despite these challenges, the election proceeded with a security task force in place, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining order and addressing security concerns.
