The 2025 Mexican extraordinary election will be held on 1 June 2025, during which voters will elect nine Supreme Court justices, 464 Circuit Court magistrates, and 386 District Court judges.[1] It will be the first judicial election in Mexican history.
Background
[edit]Procedure
[edit]The National Electoral Institute (INE) oversees federal elections in Mexico. Its responsibilities include organizing election day logistics, producing and distributing electoral materials, counting votes, and certifying the election results.
Voters must present their voter ID at polling stations to cast their ballots.
Judicial reform
[edit]The Mexican judicial reform replaced the country's appointment-based system for selecting judges with one where judges, pre-selected by the Congress, are elected by popular vote.[2] A secondary law set the election date for 1 June 2025.[3]
Candidates
[edit]Selection of judicial offices
[edit]On 12 October 2024, a lottery was conducted in the Senate to determine the offices up for election. The draw resulted in 464 Circuit Court magistrates and 386 District Court judges holding odd-numbered positions being selected for the election.[4] The remaining offices will be elected in 2027.
