Mexico is holding elections today for the lower house of parliament, several governors and a majority of mayors, which will decide whether President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's Moreno party can win a majority.

Mexicans elect 15 of the 32 governors as well as all 500 seats in the lower house of the federal parliament.

Voters also vote for 20.000 local government positions, including mayors and city council seats in 30 Mexican states.

The pre-election campaign was marked by violence and the murder of some candidates in the local elections.

Analysts assessed that criminal groups wanted to influence the course of the elections, while the authorities attributed the murders to some other circumstances, considering that they were not necessarily connected to the elections.

The elections will be monitored by 19.000 observers.
