Sumario:Each electoral process is different; it is therefore important to analyze the 2021 local process, particularly its organization in the context of a sanitary emergency. During this process 541 public positions were elected in the state of Tamaulipas, which translates into 43 municipal presidencies, 57 municipal legal representatives (síndicos), 405 councilors by absolute majority and proportional representation, 22 deputies by absolute majority and 14 deputies by proportional representation. This text focuses on analyzing the different stages of the electoral process such as the preparation of the election, Election Day and the results thereof, highlighting the importance of the state’s electoral sanction regime, as well as the right to gender equality as a guiding principle of the elections.
