Abstract

On June 6, 2021, for the first time in Mexico, men and women who are deprived of their freedom will emit their vote in federal elections; This will occur in 5 prisons in the country, as part of a pilot test to be implemented by the INE. A resolution issued by the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power in the trial for the protection of electoral political rights (JDC-352/2018) promoted by two citizens, has recognized the right to vote of people who are in preventive detention and has ordered the National Electoral Institute (INE) to implement a pilot test for voting for people in that condition in the 2020-2021 electoral process, as well as to develop a program to guarantee the vote of people in preventive detention in the 2024 election
