The 2024 Mexican local elections were held on 2 June 2024, during which voters elected eight governors for six-year terms, the Head of Government of Mexico City for a six-year term, deputies for thirty-one state congresses, and officials for 1,580 municipalities.[1] These elections took place concurrently with the country's general election.[2]
Prior to the elections, the country's two main coalitions, Juntos Hacemos Historia and Va por México, were succeeded by Sigamos Haciendo Historia and Fuerza y Corazón por México, which constituted the same parties as their predecessors.[3][4] Of the governorships up for election, Sigamos Haciendo Historia currently held six, Fuerza y Corazón por México held two, and Citizens' Movement – which was participating without coalition support[5] – held one. This was the first gubernatorial election where most of the seats were held by a MORENA-led coalition.
In what was described as a "cherry tsunami",[6][7] the Sigamos Haciendo Historia coalition successfully defended its existing gubernatorial seats, flipped Yucatán from the National Action Party,[8] and secured majorities in 27 of the 31 state congresses up for election.[9] This would facilitate the passage of constitutional amendments, which require approval from a majority of state legislatures.
