Mexico City Election Delays Spark Voter Frustration

Mexico City Judicial Elections: Voters Face Hour-Long Delays Mexico City, June 3, 2025 – Voters in Mexico City encountered significant delays during today's judicial elections. Long lines formed outside polling stations, with some voters reporting wait times exceeding an hour. The delays were primarily attributed to the complexity of the ballot, which slowed down the voting process. "It took me over an hour to vote," said Ulises Ken Victores, a voter in the Miguel Hidalgo borough. "The ballot was very complicated, and the process was slow." Victores also noted the unusual use of pens instead of the typical crayons for marking ballots. The lengthy wait times caused frustration among voters, many of whom expressed concerns about the efficiency of the election process. Election officials acknowledged the delays and apologized for the inconvenience, attributing the issues to unforeseen logistical challenges. Despite the difficulties, the election proceeded, and voters eventually cast their ballots. Election officials are reviewing the process to identify areas for improvement in future elections to ensure a smoother and more efficient experience for voters.
