%X following the 2006 post-electoral crisis, important changes were made to the constitution and several secondary laws in mexico. the goal of this essay is to analyze four problems derived from this new legislation: 1) a weakened autonomy of the federal electoral institute, 2) a scarcity of information in the political debate, 3) the hegemony of party elites, and 4) the uncertainty in case of contested elections. based on a detailed reading of the new norms, this essay documents such problems and discusses their potential impact in mexico's democratic process. we propose three new reforms: primary elections, runoff elections, and direct election of members of the electoral institute.
