President Claudia Sheinbaum declared a recent judicial vote in Mexico a success, despite just 13 percent of eligible voters participating. Critics suggested that low turnout indicated public disinterest and raised alarms about potential criminal influence in the judiciary. The vote aimed to fill approximately 880 judicial positions but was marred by confusion as many candidates were unknown and unable to campaign effectively. While Sheinbaum praised the outcome as a triumph for democracy, experts cautioned that the lack of informed voting could lead to detrimental consequences for Mexico's judicial system.
Experts have warned that turnout would be unusually low due to the sheer number of candidates and the unfamiliarity of judicial voting, which raised concerns.
Sheinbaum hailed the election as a complete success that makes the country a democratic trailblazer, claiming Mexico is becoming more free, just, and democratic.
Critics accused Sheinbaum of attempting to take control of the judiciary, raising alarms about potential criminal infiltration due to the vote's low participation.
Despite the president's celebration of the vote, a sparse turnout led many voters to feel overwhelmed and confused, struggling to make informed choices.
