Healthy democracies benefit from strong institutions and a plurality of voices. The United States supports independent, well-structured electoral institutions that strengthen the democratic process and the rule of law.
Around the world we have witnessed challenges to democracy, which have tested and continue to test the strength of independent electoral and judicial institutions.
Today, in Mexico, we see a great debate on electoral reforms and the independence of electoral and judicial institutions that illustrates that Mexico is a vibrant democracy. We respect the sovereignty of Mexico. We believe that a well-resourced, independent electoral system and respect for judicial independence support a healthy democracy.
