Conflict and respect for legality in electoral processes

Abstract

Given the complexity that democratic systems in the world are going through, this conference shows three examples of how respect for legality in electoral processes has been violated in Mexico and how this situation has increased the judicialization of popular election processes. The first part deals with the improper use of economic resources to alter equity in electoral contests. The second part deals with the way in which political practices attempt to evade compliance with the law. Finally, the third part deals with the importance of respect for the autonomy of electoral authorities and particularly jurisdictional authorities for the proper functioning of democratic regimes.
