General elections were held in Mexico on 21 August 1994.^[1] The presidential elections resulted in a victory for Ernesto Zedillo of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, whilst the PRI won 300 of the 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 95 of the 128 seats in the Senate. Voter turnout ranged from 77.4% in the proportional representation section of the Chamber elections to 75.9% in the constituency section.

Presidential election

The 1994 election took place in an atmosphere of political instability after the rise of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (ZANL) on 1 January that year in Chiapas and the murder of the original PRI candidate presidential, Luis Donaldo Colosio on 23 March in Tijuana. Although tension did not reach the level it did around the 1988 election, most political analysts agree that voters opted for continuity by returning the PRI to power, fearful the country might otherwise be destabilized.
