✶ History · 1917–2026

One party, then
alternation.

The Constitution of 5 February 1917 still governs Mexico. From 1929 to 2000 every president came from one party, founded as the PNR and known since 1946 as the PRI. Opposition seats in Congress were introduced by reform, step by step, until the PRI lost the Chamber in 1997, the presidency in 2000, and a new party, Morena, won both in 2018.

5 February 1917 · Querétaro

A revolutionary
constitution.

Drafted by a congress called by Venustiano Carranza at the end of the armed phase of the Revolution, the Constitution kept the 1857 federal structure and added social rights: secular public education (art. 3), national ownership of land, water and subsoil, with the basis for land reform and the ejido (art. 27), and labour rights (art. 123). It has been amended 285 times.

Its electoral rules have been rewritten more than its structure. The bodies that run elections moved from the Interior Ministry (1946) to an autonomous IFE (1996) and the INE (2014); the Chamber grew from about 150 seats to 500; the Senate from 64 to 128; women gained the federal vote in 1953; and judges have been elected since 2025. Chronology of reforms ↗

The thread · no reelección

Never again,
since 1910.

  1. 1910

    “Sufragio efectivo. No reelección”

    Francisco I. Madero's Plan de San Luis calls the revolt against Porfirio Díaz, president for most of the years since 1876. The phrase became the customary closing line of official correspondence.

  2. 1917

    Art. 83, original text

    The President serves four years and can never be re-elected.

  3. 1927–1928

    A pause

    Amendments allow one non-consecutive re-election and extend the term to six years. Álvaro Obregón is elected again on 1 July 1928 and assassinated on 17 July, before taking office.

  4. 1933

    The absolute ban

    DOF 29 April 1933: no one who has held the presidency in any capacity may hold it again; deputies, senators and municipal officers may not serve consecutive terms.

  5. 2014

    Legislators and mayors may run again

    DOF 10 February 2014: deputies up to four consecutive terms, senators two, municipal officers one, from the 2018 elections.

  6. 2025

    Banned again from 2030

    DOF 1 April 2025: no consecutive re-election for any elected office from the 2030 elections, and no immediate succession by relatives (electoral nepotism).

PNR 1929 · PRM 1938 · PRI 1946

Seventy-one years
of one party.

After the assassination of president-elect Obregón, Plutarco Elías Calles gathered the revolutionary factions into the Partido Nacional Revolucionario in March 1929. Lázaro Cárdenas rebuilt it in 1938 as the Partido de la Revolución Mexicana, organised in workers', peasants', popular and military sectors; in 1946 it became the Partido Revolucionario Institucional. Its candidates won every presidential election from 1929 to 1994, and it held the presidency through 14 presidents, from Emilio Portes Gil (December 1928) to Ernesto Zedillo, who left office on 30 November 2000.

Each President chose his party's successor, a practice known as the dedazo (secondary), and the Interior Ministry ran the elections until 1990. Opposition parties won seats mostly through the reforms of 1963 (party deputies), 1977 (proportional seats) and 1986–1996, each of which widened the share of the Chamber not won in districts.

From the PNR
to Plan B.

  1. 4 March 1929

    The PNR is founded

    After the assassination of president-elect Álvaro Obregón, Plutarco Elías Calles called the revolutionary factions to a convention in Querétaro (1–4 March 1929) that founded the Partido Nacional Revolucionario. It gathered regional parties and military leaders into one organisation and nominated every president for the next 71 years under its successive names.

    Secondary INE; Integralia (2026) party chronology ↗

  2. 30 March 1938

    PNR becomes the PRM

    Lázaro Cárdenas reorganised the party as the Partido de la Revolución Mexicana, built on four sectors — workers, peasants, the popular sector and the military — through which unions and agrarian organisations were incorporated into the party.

    Secondary Wikipedia (secondary) ↗

  3. 18 January 1946

    PRM becomes the PRI

    The party took its present name, Partido Revolucionario Institucional, dropping the military sector. The same month a new Federal Electoral Law placed the organisation of elections under a federal commission controlled by the executive.

    Secondary Wikipedia (secondary) ↗

  4. 17 October 1953

    Women gain the federal vote

    An amendment to article 34 of the Constitution, published in the DOF on 17 October 1953, gave women the right to vote and stand in federal elections (they had voted in municipal elections since 1947). Women first voted in a federal election on 3 July 1955.

    Official DOF 17 October 1953 (Cámara de Diputados chronology) ↗

  5. 22 June 1963

    Party deputies

    A reform of article 54 created diputados de partido: a registered party with at least 2.5% of the national vote received five seats plus one for each further 0.5%, up to 20, minus the districts it had won. It gave the opposition a guaranteed presence in the Chamber from 1964 while the PRI kept the districts.

    Tlatelolco

    Troops and security forces opened fire on a student rally in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas in Mexico City ten days before the Olympic Games. The number of dead has never been officially established. The events became a reference point for later demands for political opening.

  7. 6 December 1977

    Political reform and the LOPPE

    After the 1976 election, in which José López Portillo was the only registered candidate, Interior Secretary Jesús Reyes Heroles led a reform that enlarged the Chamber to 400 (300 districts and 100 proportional seats for minority parties) and, through the Ley Federal de Organizaciones Políticas y Procesos Electorales (DOF 30 December 1977), allowed the Communist Party and others to register.

    The 1988 count

    On election night the results system stopped reporting (the 'caída del sistema'). Carlos Salinas de Gortari was declared the winner with just over half the vote against Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, who had left the PRI and led a front of smaller parties, and Manuel Clouthier (PAN); both contested the result. The ballots were later burned by agreement of Congress in 1991.

  9. 11 October 1990

    The IFE

    A constitutional reform (DOF 6 April 1990) and the new Código Federal de Instituciones y Procedimientos Electorales (COFIPE, DOF 15 August 1990) created the Instituto Federal Electoral, installed on 11 October 1990, with a new voter register and a photo voter card. Its General Council was still chaired by the Interior Secretary.

    1994

    The Zapatista uprising in Chiapas (1 January) and the assassination of PRI candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio (23 March) preceded the election. A reform in April introduced citizen councillors on the IFE's council. Ernesto Zedillo won with 48.7% on a turnout of 77%, the highest of any presidential election organised by the IFE or INE.

    The 1996 reform: an autonomous IFE

    Agreed by all main parties, the reform removed the executive from the IFE (its council became nine citizen councillors), moved the Electoral Tribunal into the federal judiciary, capped any party at 300 deputies and at 8 points of over-representation, raised the threshold to 2%, added 32 proportional Senate seats and made Mexico City's head of government elective.

The reform allowed consecutive re-election of legislators (deputies up to four terms, senators two) and mayors from 2018, required parity in legislative candidacies, raised the threshold to 3% and moved the presidential inauguration to 1 October from 2024.

A narrower 'Plan B' passed instead (DOF 23 April 2026): at most 15 regidurías per municipal council, state congress budgets capped at 0.7% of the state budget, electoral councillors and magistrates paid no more than the president, and a 15% real cut to the Senate budget over four years.
