The Mission will deploy in different states of the country to gather information on the development of the electoral process and to observe the vote on election day, when the Mexican people will elect more than 18.000 positions. In the run up to the election, the Chief of Mission and the technical team will meet with electoral and government authorities, political parties, candidates, social society representatives, and members of the international community, amongst others.
