Sofía Medeles.- The three polling stations installed in Ajijic for the exercise of the Revocation of Mandate 2022 to which the President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) acquiesced on April 10, registered low participation.
According to data from the National Electoral Institute (INE), there were a total of 969 voters in the three polling places in town. These were located in: the María Montessori Kindergarten which was for section 466; the Saúl Rodiles Piña Elementary School for section 467; and the Marcos Castellanos Elementary School, which had a nominal list for sections 468 and 469.
Each polling place had more than one thousand ballots available, according to the number of people on the nominal list. At Kínder María Montessori there were 294 votes registered; 255 for AMLO to continue in office, 31 to be recalled and eight null votes.
At Saúl Rodiles Piña Elementary School, 298 votes were counted: 269 in favor of AMLO, 19 votes against, and ten null votes. Finally, at Marcos Castellanos Elementary School, which had the largest turnout, 397 votes were recorded, of which 335 were for the permanence of the President of the Republic, 41 votes in favor of the recall and one null vote.
The three polling place officials in charge, Cesar, Lourdes and Jose Jorge, said that in spite of the fact that the polling place opened shortly after 8:00 a.m. and closed at 6:00 p.m., there were no incidents during the day. However, they pointed out the lack of participation was due to the lack of knowledge on the part of the population regarding this session.
Although on this occasion, participation was not as low as in the popular consultation on the trial of the former presidents held in August 2021. Sunday, April 10 was calm, according to the officials who attended the polling stations.
