Abstract:

This brief overview of Mexico's political history from 1910 to 2006, with emphasis on electoral reforms and elections, demonstrates that Mexico has evolved from longterm domination by a single party to alternation and effective competition among the three major parties. This report sets the stage for the approaching July 2006 elections.
