MEXICO: Yucatán prepares for elections
The state of Yucatán goes to the polls to elect mayors and state
deputies on 16 May. Yucatán is only one of three states in which there have been
no drug-gang killings this year. The election campaign, however, has been
vicious. One unusual aspect of its elections is that women will end up holding
the top jobs. The state already has a female governor, and two women are
competing for the next most important job in the state, mayor of the state
capital, Mérida.
