International Legal Standards to Guide Mexico’s Upcoming Electoral Reform

The Rule of Law Lab’s report, issued in collaboration with the Mexican Bar Association, Laboratorio Electoral, and the Mexico Konrad Adenauer Foundation Mexico, identifies the international legal standards that must guide any upcoming electoral reform in Mexico. 

In August 2025, the Federal Executive announced that it intended to introduce a new constitutional amendment on electoral reform. The report provides a rigorous legal framework for analyzing the proposed reform, including a review of Mexico’s international obligations in the context of the country’s decades-long progress in strengthening its electoral system and safeguarding democracy.
