Overview
- Mexico’s electoral authorities reported all 28 polling stations were installed across eight sections and voting closed without suspensions or violent incidents.
- Fifteen thousand two hundred fifty-six registered voters were called to choose a new municipal government in the first successful vote after repeated disruptions in 2024.
- With about 75% of tally sheets counted in the PREP, Julio Pérez Pérez (Redes Sociales Progresistas) led with roughly 48.6%, followed by Tania Liliana Martínez Martínez (Morena) with 39.6% and Alberto González Sántiz (Movimiento Ciudadano) with 9.3%.
- The extraordinary election followed a TEPJF ruling that Pantelhó residents had been denied their right to elect local authorities and ordered a new vote.
- A security deployment of more than 600 personnel, including state and national guards and the Fuerza de Reacción Inmediata Pakal with drones and a helicopter, safeguarded the process.
