Consecutive reelection institutions and electoral calendars since 1994 in Mexico

The 2014 electoral reform removed the ban for consecutive legislative reelection, in force since 1933 in Mexico. It also opened the possibility to reelect mayors and municipal councilors. The amendments to the Mexican constitution that reformers adopted leave discretion to states in the definition of their reelection institutions, while also establishing general constraints. One is the length in office, of maximum twelve years for legislators and six for elected municipal officers. The other (with nuances) is that incumbents must be renominated by the same party that elected them. We report the sub-national variance in reelection institutions and the relevant constitutional and legal excerpts (in Spanish). To give context to the temporal dimension of the reform, we also report the election calendar since 1994. And, where necessary, we make marginal annotations (especially regarding discrepancies with data published by IMCO http://imco.org.mx/politica_buen_gobierno/reeleccion-legislativa-a-nivel-local/).
