Electoral watchdogs at the Organization of American States have expressed concern over the low turnout in Mexico’s historic and contentious judicial elections.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called her country's judicial election 'extraordinary,' despite turnout of less than 13%. Mexico becomes the first country on Earth to elect all its judges, from state level to the Supreme Court.

The Morena party controls most of Mexico’s government. Its sway over the Supreme Court is set to increase after a judicial election that raised fears about democracy.
