The 2022 Mexican general election was held on 1 December 2022 to elect the president, vice president, members of the Congress of Mexico, and state-level officials and legislators. Incumbent Pablo Hidalgo de Veracruz was eligible for reelection, becoming the first incumbent president of Mexico to be able to run for reelection since the sexenio was abolished during Veracruz's first presidential administration. The sexenio was widely considered a fundamental aspect of Mexican presidential politics and its abolition was met with controversy and protest by Veracruz's opponents.
Veracruz won reelection for his second consecutive term (third overall) in office with nearly 60% of the vote. He was challenged by several other candidates including Alejandra Cano Requena from the New Alternative Party and David Goldsmith from the Democratic Alliance.
During the electoral campaign, opponents to the incumbent, ruling coalition of the National Fatherland Front (led by the Mexican Unity Party) accused the government and its supporters of engaging in voter intimidation and misinformation. Several candidates who ran on oppositional party tickets were arrested and disqualified from the elections during the electoral cycle. International coverage and foreign election observers noted a number of election irregularities during the electoral process and questioned the fairness of the elections.
Following Veracruz's reelection, various candidates including Requena challenged the electoral results as inaccurate and compromised. The Supreme Court of Mexico dismissed pending litigation against the Mexican government, which led to nationwide protests and civil unrest in the weeks following the election.
