The Mexico Elections 2024 are celebrated this Sunday June 2, and this year they present a historic opportunity for Mexicans residing abroad. Organized by the National Electoral Institute (INE), these elections will allow, for the first time, the Mexican citizens in the United States and other countries vote in person in the modules set up in the consulates.
This advance is significant for the Mexican community abroad, since it reinforces its democratic participation from anywhere in the world.
The process to be part of the Nominal List of the Electorate Resident Abroad concluded on February 25, 2024. During this period, the INE reviewed the applications and in April reported that 39,724 applications were rejected due to irregularities or inconsistencies in the documents presented.

Despite these setbacks, a total of 258,461 Mexicans abroad have been approved to exercise their right to vote, according to the latest report from the INE. This figure reflects the commitment and determination of the Mexican diaspora to participate in the political future of their country, regardless of distance.
According to a recent report by EL PAÍS, lThe official candidate Claudia Sheinbaum leads the polls with a resounding 54% voting intention. This figure places her with a wide advantage over her closest competitor, Xóchitl Gálvez, who has 36% support. In a distant third place is Jorge Álvarez Maynez, with barely 10% of the preferences.
Although Sheinbaum has seen a reduction in his lead over Gálvez in recent weeks, decreasing from a 30-point gap to 18 points, his position remains dominant in virtually all demographic studies. This change in electoral dynamics reflects an intense campaign and growing competition, but the official candidate still maintains a solid advantage that positions her as the favorite in these elections.
