VALLADARES DE LA CRUZ, Laura R.. Electoral Justice in Oaxaca: Between Women Rights and Communitarian Rights. Alteridades [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.55, pp.13-24. ISSN 2448-850X. https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/alteridades/2018v28n55/valladares.
The role of electoral authorities in conflict resolution in some municipalities of Oaxaca is analyzed. Authorities are appointed through indigenous normative systems. Attention is focused on two conflicts involving indigenous women candidates who were excluded from the ballot and unable to run for a position in the local government. These women appealed to the corresponding electoral institutions and demanded their political-electoral rights to be respected. Some effects of the intervention of electoral authorities on indigenous autonomy are discussed, where indigenous men and women demand respect in order to solve their political dissent.
