Mexico will choose for the first time in its history, by popular vote, to 881 positions of between 3,422 candidates, of the Judiciary, both at the federal and local level, between judges and magistrates.
The elections are consequence of the constitutional reform promoted by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024), approved in September 2024 that, among other things, will reduce the number of ministers of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), from 11 to 9 and create the Court of Judicial Discipline.
