1964 Mexican Presidential Election
1964 · The PRI's hegemony
The 1964 election was the first to use the party deputy mechanism: a form of proportional representation through which three parties other than the hegemonic Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) – none of which won any first-past-the-post districts – were allocated 32 seats.
Held under the hegemonic-party system: opposition parties appeared on the ballot, but the machinery of state made the official candidate's victory a foregone conclusion.
