A general election is scheduled to be held in Mexico in July 2018. This will be the first election where members of the legislature will be allowed to run for reelection. Voters will go to the polls to elect, on the federal level:
- A new President of the Republic to serve a six-year term, replacing current incumbent Enrique Peña Nieto, who is ineligible due to the constitutional prohibition of any type of presidential re-election.
- 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 (64th Congress).
- 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 Mexican Senate (64th Congress). 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.
