Like India, Mexico was also characterised by one-party dominant system with PRI, that is, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which had won elections and had exercised power for almost six decades
Elections in India are different from Mexico in many ways:-
(i) Both countries have a multi-party system. In the case of India, political parties in power often lose elections whereas in the case of Mexico PRI did not lose a single election for more than 70 years.
(ii) Government officials work under the Election Commission during the election days whereas this is not true for Mexico.
(iii) Elections in India are held after every 5 years whereas in the case of Mexico elections are held after 6 years.
