All 500 seats to the Mexican Chamber of Deputies | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

Legislative elections will be held in Mexico on 5 July 2009.[1] Voters will elect 500 new deputies (300 by their respective constituencies, 200 by proportional representation) to sit in the Chamber of Deputies for the 61st Congress.
Opinion polling by pollster Demotecnia shows the Institutional Revolutionary Party with 36%, the National Action Party with 31%, and the Party of the Democratic Revolution with 16%.[2]
Anone of the above movement, dubbed "voto en blanco", or "blank vote", has arisen in response to the perceived corruption of the three major parties running in this election. Starting as a small group on blogs and YouTube, the movement has since expanded its ranks, with politicians and intellectuals, such as Jose Antonio Crespo, supporting the movement. Pollster Demotecnia shows that 3% of the people would be willing to boycott the elections in response to the "voto en blanco" movement.[3]
Opposition to the movement comes from organizations such as the Federal Electoral Institute, a government institute who seeks to expand voter participation, who claims that the response to an unsatisfactory democracy is not to have less people vote, but to have more people involved in the electoral process.
Early results with 98% of the precincts reporting shows the Institutional Revolutionary Party with 37% of the vote, the National Action Party with 28% of the vote, and the Party of the Democratic Revolution with 12% of the vote.[4]
