Five weeks. Five seminars. One complex election.

Mark your diary. On Sunday 2 June, Mexico goes to the polls to elect a new President, 128 Senators, 500 members of the Chamber of Deputies, eight Governors, Mexico City's head of government, and thousands of local politicians. In a number of ways, it’s an unprecedented election for Mexico.

Five Thursdays in a row, from 25 April, Canning House is holding a series of in-person and online seminars, tackling all aspects of Mexico's unprecedented, complex 2024 election.

With support from Nuffield College, Oxford and the Escuela de Ciencias Sociales y Gobierno at the Tecnológico de Monterrey.
