2024 Mexican Senate election

The 2024 Mexican Senate election was held on 2 June 2024 as part of the 2024 general election. All 128 seats in the Senate of Mexico were up for election, with the winners serving six-year terms in the 66th and 67th Congresses. Those elected for the first time will be eligible for re-election in the 2030 election.

Background
Procedure The 128 members of the Senate are elected by two methods: 96 are elected in 32 three-seat constituencies based on the country's states and the remaining 32 are elected in a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation. In the three-seat constituencies, two seats are allocated to the party receiving the highest number of votes (mayoría relativa) and one seat to the party receiving the second-highest number of votes (primera minoría). Senators are elected for six-year terms and will serve in the 66th and 67th Congresses. Senate majorities The absolute majority, required for the approval of laws, is 65 seats, while the supermajority (two-thirds), required for constitutional amendments, is 86 seats. == Parties and coalitions ==
Parties and coalitions
Sigamos Haciendo Historia Sigamos Haciendo Historia ("Let's Keep Making History") is the left-wing coalition comprising the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA), the Labor Party (PT) and the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). The coalition will field common candidates for the Senate in all states except Baja California, Chiapas, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas and Tlaxcala. In some of those states, the decision was not due to a breakdown in negotiations but was based on calculations that the parties could take both the first and second places, thus securing a clean sweep of three seats for the coalition. Fuerza y Corazón por México Fuerza y Corazón por México ("Strength and Heart for Mexico") is the opposition coalition, a big tent composed of the National Action Party (PAN), the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD). The coalition will field common candidates for the Senate in all states except Guanajuato and Oaxaca. Citizens' Movement In a shift of strategy from the 2012 election (when it allied itself with the PRD and the PT) and the 2018 election (when it joined forces with the PAN and the PRD), the Citizens' Movement party (MC) declined to join either coalition and went into the elections on its own, including the Senate elections in all 32 states. == Results ==
