"Electoral” or “juncture” press from the 19th century refers to a specific type of short-term newspapers that were generated around electoral processes for the benefit of political parties. These newspapers had the particularity of having an electoral, partisan, and militant character: they were created to promote group or party candidates and their agendas in view of the elections at stake. This article is an approach to this special type of publication and it focuses on two electoral press practices throughout the second half of the 19th century in Mexico. In these decades, two journalistic electoral strategies gained much strength: the direct association of the press with electoral clubs and its recourse to visual satire to take part in the elections.

Keywords : Electoral press; juncture press; political clubs; satirical press; visual satire.
