“It was a terrific opportunity yesterday to observe Mexican democracy in action. The INE did an incredible job of organizing the election but more importantly than that, of working with Mexican civil society, and I don’t mean NGO’s but the people on the street who organized themselves to run the polling stations. The INE worked hand-in-hand with them in terms of training, providing them with resources they need, to actually execute a very well- run, fair, free and transparent election.”
