The proposal to revamp Mexico's judiciary system marks a significant shift from an appointment-based to an electorate-based selection, potentially empowering voters to elect judges directly.
The recent legislation has cleared its last major obstacle in the Senate, reflecting President Lopez Obrador's strong influence and the legislative majorities held by his party after the June elections.
Protesters opposed to the judicial overhaul voiced their concerns outside the Senate, following the swift passage of the bill through both houses of Congress.
Once approved at the state level, the new judicial system could enable voters to replace 7,000 judges as soon as next year, dramatically altering the judicial landscape in Mexico.
