According to the report Votar entre balas (Voting Amid Bullets) conducted by several non-governmental organizations, a total of 54,152 people have been killed due to political violence from 2018 to date, representing almost a third of the homicides recorded during the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)

The report, created by NGOs Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), Data Cívica, México Evalúa, and news platform Animal Político, assessed political-criminal violence and its implications for Mexican democracy a month after the general elections won by the ruling party's candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum.
