There were around 22 reported killings across the country, possibly involving campaign coordinators, precandidates and candidates.

In certain parts of the country that had already experienced significant governance issues, the atmosphere before the elections was even more tense and violent. The states of Oaxaca, Michoacán, Jalisco and Guerrero were notable among them. Since drug trafficking organizations and other organized crime elements control significant regions, the state security forces stationed there engage in activities and operations that create extremely dangerous and unique situations for citizens, like the violent clashes with the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel that occurred in Jalisco at the beginning of May. The cartel demonstrated significant firepower, shooting down a Cougar helicopter of the Mexican Army, in which nine troops died, mostly members of the special forces and the Federal Police.Elecciones intermedias en México 2015: tensas y complejas pero con señales de cambio https://www.realinstitutoelcano.org/analisis/elecciones-intermedias-en-mexico-2015-tensas-y-complejas-pero-con-senales-de-cambio/ 2024-02-21 Real Instituto Elcano es-ESProceso electoral de elecciones intermedias en México deja 21 políticos asesinados http://www.americaeconomia.com/politica-sociedad/politica/proceso-electoral-de-elecciones-intermedias-en-mexico-deja-21-politicos-a 2024-02-21 AméricaEconomía es

Protocol to Address Political Violence against women
The challenges that women face in exercising their political and electoral rights arose from the violent circumstances surrounding the 2015 election cycle. To that end, the Protocol was signed in conjunction with a number of institutions, including FEPADE, the Court Electoral of the Judicial Branch of the Federation, the Executive Commission for Attention to Victims and the National Institute for Women, among others, with the goal of fostering equality, non-discrimination and non-violence in political and electoral spaces, as well as the appropriate exercise of political and electoral rightsJoaquin 2022-01-05 Números de Teléfono del INE - Instituto Nacional Electoral https://www.brujuleamex.com/numeros-de-telefono-del-ine/ 2024-02-21 BRUJULEAMEX es by women.https://portal.ine.mx/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/protocolo_violencia_pol%C3%ADtica.pdf Protocolo para Atender la Violencia Política Contra las Mujeres Protocol to Address Political Violence Against Women Salazar Marcela Talamás Sánchez de Tagle Sofía Lascurain May 2016 es Instituto Nacional Electoral PDF
