ZAMITIZ, Héctor  and  PENA LEON, Irma. Una caracterización de la democracia mexicana y sus actores políticos: la elección para gobernador del Estado de México, 2005. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2006, vol.48, n.196, pp.115-141. ISSN 0185-1918.

In this article, the authors analyze one of the most important election processes in our country before the 2006 presidential election: the Estado de Mexico elections. The authors consider these elections as a demonstration of Mexican democracy as well as its limitations: very expensive electoral campaigns where private financing in favor of political parties overcome public financing; weak electoral institutions incapable of guiding a reliable electoral process; damaged political parties perception among public opinion; electoral process inequality between them; wrong vote promotion strategies; abstention; inadequate supervision over campaign expenses and discrepancy between local and federal government to solve conflicts derived from the process.

Keywords : Estado de México; proceso electoral; gastos de campaña; partidos políticos (PRI; PAN; PRD); candidatos; órganos electorales.
