My post-its and the million candidates

By Ivabelle Arroyo

I have three huge blackboards with small sticky papers on which I put relevant information about the Mexican elections. On the first one I keep track of the presidential elections, with a space for each candidate, one for context and one for the institutions, including INE. In the second one I have 10 subsets to write down the most relevant information of each of the nine governmental contests and the Monterrey presidential election, which is of particular interest to me. 

In the third one I have the election of the 16 mayoralties in Mexico City. I do not write down everything, but there I have the most relevant and if a post it seems relevant one day but not the next day, I simply remove it. It is to have a complete map of the process for study purposes after Election Day.
