Mexico is making history on June 1 as voters hit the polls for the first-ever election of judges at all levels, including the Supreme Court. Over 2,600 candidates are competing for 881 federal judicial positions, marking a bold move toward a completely revamped legal system.
This historic election will replace standing judges and magistrates with fresh faces, setting the stage for a judicial reboot. Looking ahead, another election in 2027 will let citizens elect 800 more judicial roles, paving the way for sustained reform.
Imagine it like a reboot of your favorite show where the stars are chosen by the fans! Reported live from Mexico City by CGTN's Franc Contreras, this groundbreaking process is stirring excitement among voters, legal enthusiasts, and young change-makers alike. Get ready for a new era where the future of justice is in the hands of the people! 😊
