MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's first round of elections of judges by popular vote, the product of a contentious constitutional overhaul passed in September, could be pushed back by around three months if the Senate accepts a request by the electoral authority to postpone them, the electoral body's head said on Thursday.
The country's first judicial elections have been scheduled for June 1 of next year, but the National Electoral Institute (INE) is asking for more funds to hold them and the government is still urging candidates to register to run ahead of the Sunday deadline.
