In Mexico, the average life expectancy is 75 years, 5 years less than the average of the members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
According to the above statistics, the 15 million young people who joined the electoral roll of our country for next June's presidential elections will have ten or eleven occasions to do so during their lifetime.
Therefore, if they exercise their constitutional right to vote (a civic obligation), they will have exhausted the first of their opportunities to decide who they want to wear the presidential sash during their lifetime (2024-2084). It sounds easy, but in this transition from young adult to senior citizen, their quality of life is at stake in absolutely every way.
