International IDEA accompanied this electoral process through several technical assistance missions to the National Electoral Institute of Mexico, mainly focused on monitoring the gender agenda and the digitalization processes applied to the general elections.
This included dialogues with electoral authorities, civil society actors, representatives of political parties and candidates. Experts also attended one of the presidential debates, which focused on economic development, poverty, inequality and climate change.
International IDEA’s work in Mexico highlights the importance of collaboration between different organizations and institutions to address complex issues such as political violence, polarization and disinformation, and points to the need for future processes that prioritize civic media education
and literacy.
