Mexico is set to make history as voters head to the polls in the country's largest-ever election, with nearly 100 million people registered to vote. The election, taking place on Sunday, June 2, is expected to result in the country electing its first female president. The two leading candidates are Claudia Sheinbaum, a former mayor of Mexico City and member of the ruling Morena party, and Xóchitl Gálvez, a former senator. Sheinbaum, who has a background in environmental engineering and is of Jewish descent, is currently the frontrunner. This landmark election also includes the selection of 628 Congressional seats, nine governors, and more than 19,000 local officials. The election is taking place amid significant challenges, including rampant violence and cartel influence, with security being a top concern for many voters. Despite the historic nature of the election, there are doubts about whether the new leadership will be able to address these deep-seated issues.
