Abstract

About one out of every ten Mexican nationals lives in the United States as either a legal or illegal immigrant. This chapter will consider and assess the part that they play in Mexican elections. Although the numbers who have cast a vote are still not significant or definitive in federal electoral processes, migrants have the potential to play an important role.
