In Mexico, 6 Years, a lot of politic options, the main are: PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) http://www.pri.org.mx/, PRD (Partido de la Revolucion Democratica) http://www.prd.org.mx, and PAN (Partido Accion Nacional) http://www.pan.org.mx.
The president of MX is Vicente Fox (not related to M$), who won the past elections in July 2000 as PAN candidate, he's the first non-PRI president in the last 75 years.
The next elections will be at July 2006, but there a lot of movements arround the next period.
MX has a main electoral college called IFE (Instituto Federal Electoral) http://www.ife.org.mx/, who has all the information about votants.
To win the president election every vote count, if we have 120 millions of habitants and 100 M can vote, the next president will be the one who has more vote of them.
