Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of preparations for free and fair elections in Mexico in July 2018.

Our Embassy in Mexico City is closely following preparations for the elections in July. Independent election observation missions at the previous presidential elections in 2006 and 2012 found the electoral system to be robust and trustworthy. We expect the next elections to be similarly well run.
