Electoral Institute of Mexico / Vote from Abroad: How does it work? Why is it important?

One of the main objectives of the Electoral Institute of Mexico City (IECM) is to maintain a permanent link with citizens residing abroad to strengthen democracy. Specifically, the IECM would like to meet students and academics, and staff interested in:

• Voting from Abroad:  How does it work?  Why is it important?
• The election of Deputies to represent the Mexican immigrant community in their home states.
• A consultation with Mexican girls, boys, and adolescents about their life in the U.S.

Join Yuri Gabriel Beltrán Miranda, a representative from Mexico City Electoral Board in this presentation and dialogue.

Event co-sponsors:  Latin American Recruitment and Educational Services (LARES), and the Rafael Cintrón Ortiz Latino Cultural Center at UIC.
