Legislative elections were held inMexico on 7 June 2015,^[1] alongsidemunicipal elections.

Traditionally elections had taken place on the first Sunday of July, but in 2015 were set to the first Sunday of June.^[2]

The 500 members of theChamber of Deputies were elected by two methods; 300 were elected in single-member constituencies and 200 byproportional representation in a single nationwide constituency.^[3] Constitutional reforms in 2014 led to the creation of the National Electoral Institute, replacing theFederal Electoral Institute.

There were around 22 reported killings across the country, possibly involving campaign coordinators, precandidates and candidates. Notable cases included the 2 June campaign ofMiguel Ángel Luna Munguía, theParty of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) candidate for federal deputy in the state of Mexico, and the 27 May campaign ofIsrael Hernández Fabela,^[4] the PRI candidate for local representative for the Federal District's campaign coordinator.

In certain parts of the country that had already experienced significant governance issues, the atmosphere before the elections was even more tense and violent. The states ofOaxaca,Michoacán,Jalisco andGuerrero were notable among them. Since drug trafficking organizations and other organized crime elements control significant regions, the state security forces stationed there engage in activities and operations that create extremely dangerous and unique situations for citizens, like the violent clashes with theJalisco Nueva Generación Cartel that occurred inJalisco at the beginning of May. The cartel demonstrated significant firepower, shooting down a Cougar helicopter of the Mexican Army, in which nine troops died, mostly members of the special forces and the Federal Police.^[5][6]

Violent attacks occurring before the 2015 elections included:

• In the municipality ofTixtla,Guerrero, riots occurred in protest of thedisappearance of 43 students from a rural school in the town ofAyotzinapa. After the burning of more than 20% of the polling stations, the elections in the municipality were declared annulled, leaving the votes for state governor, federal and local deputies outside the official count and the municipal mayoral election annulled.^[7]
• In the state ofMichoacán andTabasco, blockades were reported in the municipalities ofNahuatzen,Cherán,Amacuzac andVillahermosa where some of the facilities where the polling stations were going to be installed were blocked.^[8]
• inJiutepec,Morelos, homemade bombs were thrown at an urn, causing two injuries.^[9]
• Attack on Rosendo Cruz, candidate from the National Action Party for federal deputy for the district ofTula de Allende (June 6, 2015).^[10]
• Attack on the headquarters of the Institutional Revolutionary Party inMatamoros, Tamaulipas although there were no injuries (June 6, 2015).^[11]
• Murder of PRD candidate Aidé Nava González for mayor ofAhuacuotzingo,Guerrero (March 10).^[12]
• Murder of Ulises Fabián Quiróz, candidate inChilapa.^[13]
• Murder of candidate Enrique Hernández, candidate for mayor ofYurécuaro forMorena (May 14, 2015).^[14]
• Murder of 4 people from theNueva Alianza party inIxcapuzalco.^[15]
• Murder ofMiguel Ángel Luna candidate inValle de Chalco.^[16]
• Murder of Héctor Cruz López, PRI militant for councilor inHuimanguillo (May 14).^[17]

Protocol to Address Political Violence against women

The challenges that women face in exercising their political and electoral rights arose from the violent circumstances surrounding the 2015 election cycle. To that end, the Protocol was signed in conjunction with a number of institutions, including FEPADE, the Court Electoral of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, the Executive Commission for Attention to Victims and the National Institute for Women, among others, with the goal of fostering equality, non-discrimination and non-violence in political and electoral spaces, as well as the appropriate exercise of political and electoral rights^[18] by women.^[19]
