Mexico is on the brink of a historic election on June 2, with significant implications for its political future. This election marks a milestone as the country prepares to elect its first female president, with both leading candidates being women. With nearly 99 million voters participating in the largest election in Mexico’s history, the stakes are high for over 20,000 local, state, congressional, and presidential positions.
