MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – A majority of Mexican state legislatures have approved a controversial judicial overhaul, the country’s president said on Thursday, marking a final legislative step in its constitutional approval process.
The reform, which stipulates that judges be elected by popular vote, was approved by two-thirds of Senators on Wednesday following a contentious all-night debate, and will now go into effect when it is published in the government’s official gazette.
