 Student journals: Reports on Mexican elections |
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.

 Urban Economics Literature Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Because unauthorized Mexican residents of the United States are not free to travel back and forth across the Mexico-U.S. border, we hypothesize that they were less likely to have voted in the 2000 elections and less likely (barring a new amnesty program and/or implementation of the 1996 electoral reforms) to vote in future Mexican elections.
Unlike voting in the 2000 election, being male or having remitted an additional time are positively associated with an expressed intention to vote in the 2006 election, and speaking English well or having crossed the border one more time on average are negatively associated.
Expatriate Mexicans residing closer to (farther from) the Mexico-U.S. border are probably more (less) likely to vote in Mexican elections, and the demographic and economic characteristics of Mexicans living in other parts of the United States may differ from those of Mexicans residing in Los Angeles County.
