A general election was held in Mexico on Sunday, July 1, 2012. Voters went to the polls to elect, on the federal level:
⁕A new President of the Republic to serve a six-year term, replacing former President Felipe Calderón. The current Constitution of Mexico prohibits any type of presidential re-election.
⁕500 members to serve for a three-year term in the Chamber of Deputies.
⁕128 members to serve six-year terms in the Mexican Senate. In each state, two first-past-the-post seats are allocated to the party with the largest share of the vote, and the remaining seat is given to the first runner-up.
Several local ballots were held on the same day, notably:
