As Mexico headed to the polls, voters were 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.

Claudia Sheinbaum

A scientist and former mayor of Mexico City who has pledged to continue President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's agenda. She has vowed to consolidate some of the current president’s major infrastructure projects, carry out his austerity measures and preserve his social welfare programs.

The coalition backing her is made up of the formerly rival parties P.R.I., P.A.N. and P.R.D., who many voters see as responsible for Mexico's legacy of corruption.

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.

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.
