Why Nearly All Judges in Mexico Could Soon Be Chosen by Voters
Briefly

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's reform to allow voters to elect judges challenges the traditional judiciary system, aimed at fighting corruption, graft, and nepotism.
The sweeping judicial overhaul proposes removing extensive eligibility requirements for judges, enabling individuals with just a law degree and limited experience to run for judicial positions.
This judicial reform is among the most significant changes attempted globally, affecting over 7,000 judges across various levels and aiming to modernize Mexico's judiciary.
Though controversial, the measure gained legislative approval and has substantial backing from Lopez Obrador's successor, signaling a shift towards increased public involvement in the judiciary.
