Ignacio Comonfort

Elected President

Ignacio Comonfort

General elections were held in Mexico in September 1857.[1] They were the first to be held under the February 1857 constitution, which introduced direct elections for the presidency,[2] abolished the Senate, and introduced universal male suffrage for citizens aged 18 (if married) or 20 (if single), as long as they had an "honest mode of living".[3]

Incumbent president Ignacio Comonfort was re-elected with over 92% of the vote, defeating Miguel Lerdo de Tejada.
