 Student journals: Reports on Mexican elections | News
Mexican citizens must vote in their designated precinct, where they show their voting card that has their picture ID on it.
The only problem that arose was in one divided precinct where members of the Civic Alliance (a neutral organization that monitors elections) wore solid-blue shirts, which are associated with the PAN party, and words were exchanged between several voters and the blue-shirted men in the street in front of the casilla.
A PRD member told me that election fraud within the casillas is very rare and the major problem is that the parties will give out food, appliances or other goodies in exchange for votes in poor neighborhoods.

By then, the main rationale for election monitoring had become: “the idea that elections could be an instrument for change,” 12 and in the process of recognizing the importance of elections as a means for change the experiences of other countries was fundamental.
Although the watershed for electoral observation in Mexico was the 1994 electoral process, election monitoring also figured prominently in the congressional mid-term elections, and particularly in the inaugural (and concurrent) election for the mayorship of Mexico city in 1997.
Further-more, the Mexican experience is interesting not only because domestic observers took the leading role in the monitoring of the electoral process, but precisely because, despite their late entrance into electoral monitoring, they were able to play such a prominent role.

That's why Mexican voters' bold decision in July, 2000, to knock the PRI off its throne was such an impressive feat.
