Its owner, Hector Diaz Santana, said that the majority of complaints are for the purchase of votes and the withdrawal of voter credentials and acts of violence; especially in the State of Mexico, Veracruz, Chiapas and Oaxaca.

Special Election Booths
As in all elections, the lack of ballots in special election voting booths has provoked anger and mobilization in various points of the republic, as detailed below, included a sit-in in front of the offices of the INE in the peripheral area of Mexico City. The protests were repeated in Jalisco, Oaxaca, Guanajuato, Yucatan. The INE in the voice of Counselor Ciro Murayama, clarified that by law the special election boxes only have 750 ballots.

Facebbok users report that special election ballots were not installed in the first frame of the city. They are in the Vasconcelos library and General Hospital.
In the area with more foreign voters, the INE does not place special election boxes! I share in pissing off the people who will not be able to vote. The ballots of Vasconselos were used up very fast, at 9:30 A group of foreigners are complaining that from very early there were no tickets in General Hospital.
Testimony of Father Solalinde
The special election box of the Vasconcelos Library is a disaster: it opened late, they are disorganized and the line is endless. The ballots are totally insufficient. Why do Mexicans have to be so irresponsible and disorganized? And the institutions?
