This voting place was located in the middle of a busy market, with traffic moving in and out constantly, making for a haphazard experience for voters.

In Ecatepec, State of Mexico our observation group was threatened by an aggressive individual over our effort to prevent fraud.

We also spoke to several residents who said they were offered goods and money in exchange for their vote and a report of someone trying to vote twice.

[Dan Beeton @Dan_Beeton]

Lots of reports of polling places opening late in various areas of Mexico State and Mexico City. Check @TheAmericasBlog live blog for updates. https://t.co/UJPmht7eAj #MexicanElection

[The Scholar and Citizen Network for Democracy @MexicoDemocracy]

In Ecatepec, State of Mexico we ran into a woman who took the online @DialogosUNAM course on electoral observation and went to her local poll location on her own volition to help defend against fraud.

[Christy Thornton @llchristyll]

All kinds of false information circulating via Whatsapp over the last few months, and today as well, meant to confuse and intimidate voters. https://t.co/1rf8tMuen1

English-speaking supporters of Mexican democracy are using the hashtag #AllEyesOnMexico to stay abreast of developments on this Election Day. Stay informed!

[David Agren @el_reportero]

There’s a long line forming at the polling station by my apartment. Not all the poll clerks have arrived so it can’t open

[The Scholar and Citizen Network for Democracy @MexicoDemocracy]

We’re receiving many reports of polls opening late, frustrating voters. https://t.co/S7pk7JF8EI

[The Scholar and Citizen Network for Democracy @MexicoDemocracy]

Observers with @RUCD_2018 supervise as election workers set up a polling location in the borough of Coyoacán, Mexico City. Polls are meant to open at 8 am local time and a line of voters has already formed outside.
