On June 1, 2025, historic elections took place in Mexico. It was the first time in the modern history of the system of modern states that the judiciary was elected by popular vote on such a large scale. There were 18,449 candidates voting for 881 federal judicial positions – from Supreme Court judges, Electoral Tribunal judges, the Disciplinary Court, District Courts and District Courts. How did the transformation of the judiciary system proceed, from the perspective of the latest amendments to the Mexican Constitution? The purpose of this article is to analyze the process of the transformation of Mexico's judicial power system, particularly how judges are created.
