“Few Mexicans living in the United States met the January deadline to request a ballot for July’s presidential election in Mexico either because they didn’t know about it or because it was too hard to do, the Pew Hispanic Center in Washington, D.C., has found.

Most of the 10 million Mexicans in the United States maintain close ties to home, but only 3 million were eligible to vote under Mexico’s first absentee voting law, Pew researchers found. Of those, 40,000 seem to have properly requested ballots for the July 2006 contest.”
