Re: Random Election Question:

[(Anonymous)]

In Mexico, you first need to register with the IFE (Instituto Federal Electoral, Federal Electoral Institute?) a certain time of the year if you're eighteen years old or older. They write you down on their official lists with all your data (name, age, address, etc.), take your thumb print, your signature and a picture of your face, and if it all goes fast a little while later they give you a plastic ID card thing, the size of a credit card, with your info, signature, thumb print and photo in it (which also serves as an official, legal ID).

Then when it's time to vote, depending on where you live (you must let the IFE know if you move to live somewhere else to let them update your address in their lists), there will be a house/school local to you with the electoral booths (for privacy) and voting boxes/urns and randomly assigned citizens waiting at tables with the voting papers, boxes, lists, etc. (and also supervisors of each political party hanging around to make sure there isn't cheating or stealing of boxes with votes, which has actually happened in some places) who will check your plastic ID card thing, check it against their copies of the IFE lists to see that you're really you, and then give you the paper (or papers, if there are several levels of elections going on, like President + Governors + Deputies + Mayors) with the list of candidates and their political parties to vote on.

You go to a booth, mark your vote with a crayon or pencil thing provided inside the booth, fold the paper as its marked so no one sees what you voted when you exit, exit the booth and deposit the folded paper into the proper box/urn. Then the random citizens overseeing the process will paint your right thumb with some really, really hard to wash off ink so that you don't try to vote twice somehow with a fake ID or some other form of cheating, and then make a dent with a puncturing machine on your IFE card thing in the appropriate year slot to show that you've already voted with it. It usually has spaces for about 4 times of presidential, governor and mayor elections (every six years all of them, I think?) and then a bunch more for the deputy elections (every three years), and even some spaces for emergency elections if those come up for some reason.

Oh, also, presidents cannot serve ever again after their period is over. The last president who was reelected held on to the post for 30+ years, so a huge civil war ensued and reelections were forbidden from then on.

The randomly chosen citizens are trained weeks before the elections on what to do. On the election day, they tend to open up elections in the morning, like 8-9 am-ish? And the voting closes in the afternoon. The votes are counted in the evening, all through the night (both by hand and by computer) and I think we find out the winner by the next day at night or the day after the next? I forget.

Not all states have their local elections the same day, for some reason, but they all last the length of time in their respective levels.

There are tons of TV and radio ads every now and then to encourage everyone to keep their IFE card thing up to date.
