		The remaining 70 percent is divided proportionally among parties that received at least 2 percent of the vote in the 1997 federal mid-term elections (and therefore won seats in the National Congress).
		Until 1994, the electoral law allowed the ruling party to stack the commission with PRI loyalists whose presence guaranteed actions favorable to the party.
		For this reason, Mexico’s judicial system, particularly the Special Prosecutor for Electoral Crimes (FEPADE) and the Federal Electoral Tribunal, must also be willing to play a more aggressive role in combating electoral fraud if the considerable advances made by the IFE are to lay the groundwork for fair play in the 2000 elections.

		Thanks to the former, the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) was to be formed by six “citizen counselors” (approved by consensus among Mexico’s three major political parties, the PRI, PAN, and PRD), two representatives from each house of Congress, and the Interior Minister.
		Interestingly, although the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) was supposed to issue only a “generic” invitation and not individual ones, the National Democratic Institute was specifically invited by the electoral organization to attend the general elections.
		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.

		The potential risks and benefits surrounding a possible victory for Vicente Fox, the National Action Party (PAN) candidate, and a historic alternation of parties at the presidential level, were palpable because of recent trends in Mexico's political landscape.
		The steady decline in the popularity of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), coupled with bold electoral reforms undertaken by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in November 1996 had leveled the playing field enough to create a political environment that was ripe for change.
		It was a timely opportunity to initiate a study of possible outcomes of the 2000 elections, and it was in this context that CSIS decided to explore various political scenarios and their implications for U.S. policy toward Mexico as the United States was entering its own presidential campaign.
