The 2024 Mexican local elections will be held on 2 June 2024 and will see voters electing eight governors for six-year terms, the Head of Government of Mexico City for a six-year term, deputies for thirty-one state congresses, and officials for 1,580 municipalities. [1] These elections will take place concurrently with the country's general election. [2]
Prior to the elections, the country's two main coalitions, Juntos Hacemos Historia and Va por México, were succeeded by Sigamos Haciendo Historia and Fuerza y Corazón por México, which constituted the same parties as their predecessors. [3] [4] Currently, Sigamos Haciendo Historia holds six gubernatorial seats, Fuerza y Corazón por México holds two, and Citizens' Movement, who is participating without coalition support, [5] holds one. This is the first gubernatorial election where most of the seats are held by a MORENA-led coalition.
