More voters than feared
In the run up to the 5 July midterm elections,
electoral officials, the government and the Roman Catholic Church were all
worried that the turnout would be embarrassingly low. On 29 June, the president
of the Tribunal Electoral de Poder Judicial de la Federación (TEPJF) said that
she feared that only 30% of the electorate would vote. The president of the
Instituto Federal Electoral, which is running the elections, reckoned that the
turnout would be only 40%.
