Mexican Elections
As I plan my Baja trip for late June/early July...I seem to remember not being able to purchase beer during elections.
Is this still the law of the land? Can anyone tell me when the moratium starts & stops?
-Thanks!

It's still the law of the land, but certain tourist areas have been given exemption from the requirements. Think the dates would be July 1 & 2

Emergency supplies are always necessary in Baja and that is most true on election days--That is, if you want to keep up with your Mexican friends who
know to stock up during the election week.

It's a nationwide law, you will have to copy and paste on to address bar.

I have a lot of trouble translating, but it kind of looked like it allows local officials to prohibit sale on election and the preceding day.

You are correct
El d?a de la elecci?n y el precedente, a juicio de las autoridades competentes y de acuerdo a la normatividad que exista en cada entidad federativa,
se ordenar?, cuando sea indispensable para preservar el orden de la jornada, el cierre de los establecimientos que expendan bebidas embriagantes.
means that it is left to the judgement of the authorities of a state when it is indispensable to preserve order. In Baja California there has been
alcohol sales during elections since 2003.

I just asked Martin Romo if there would be liquor sales here in San Felipe on Election day.
The answer is yes. At least here in San Felipe it will be normal opperations for all liquor stores, bars and restaurants.

If you couldn't drink, how would you stomach voting for any of the candidates?
