Mexico electoral legitimacy relies on intangible factors

The success of upcoming elections in Mexico depends on intangible factors beyond mere budgetary requirements. While funding is necessary, key strengths include citizen participation, political parties' adherence to electoral legislation, and the responsibility of electoral officials.

These elements are essential for legitimizing the electoral process. Additionally, the quality of public information serves as a critical factor in combating disinformation on social media, ensuring voters can make informed decisions.

While electoral institutes like the INE and IETAM advocate for their budgets, there is noted opposition from political parties regarding these financial defenses. Citizen involvement remains vital, particularly in the reception and counting of votes at polling stations and the designation of election officials.
