A general election was held in Mexico on Sunday, July 2, 2006. Voters went to the polls to elect, on the federal level: *A new President of the Republic to serve a six-year term, replacing then Mexican President Vicente Fox (ineligible for re-election under the 1917 Constitution). *500 members (300 by the first-past-the-post system and 200 by proportional representation) to serve for a three-year term in the Chamber of Deputies. *128 members (three per state by first-past-the-post and 32 by proportional representation from national party lists) to serve six-year terms in the Senate. In each state, two first-past-the-post seats are allocated to the party with the largest share of the vote, and the remaining seat is given to the first runner-up. Several local ballots were also held on the same day, most notably: *The election of a new Head of Government and new Legislative Assembly of the Federal District. See: 2006 Mexican Federal District election. *Gubernatorial elections in the states of Guanajuato, Jalisco and Morelos. *Municipal and local congressional elections in those three states and in Campeche, Colima, Nuevo León, Querétaro, and Sonora. San Luis Potosí also elected a new local congress. ==Presidential election== On September 5, 2006, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa was declared President-Elect〔(Proponen magistrados declarar Presidente electo a Calderón - El Universal - Elecciones )〕 by the Federal Electoral Tribunal after a highly controversial post-electoral process. Eight political parties participated in the 2006 presidential election; five of them joined forces in two different electoral coalitions. Competition was intense, with the National Action Party (PAN) eager to hold on to the presidency for a second period, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) equally keen to regain the office it lost in the 2000 election for the first time in 71 years (then in coalition with the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico), and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) (then in coalition with Convergence and the Labor Party) believing itself to have a good chance to win after disappointments in the two previous elections. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mexican general election, 2006」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
