Mexican authorities will be applying the "dry law" for Sunday's elections. The law applies equally for Mexican citizens and foreign tourists.
On July 7, 2013, 15 Mexican states will hold elections: Aguascalientes, Baja California, Coahuila, Durango, Chihuahua, Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Veracruz and Zacatecas.
Under Mexican law, alcohol cannot be sold in the 24 hours before the election and cannot be sold on election day.
As a result, no alcohol will be sold on either Saturday or Sunday. The sale of alcohol will resume on Monday.
Mexico’s “La Ley Seca” or “Dry Law” dates back to after the Mexican Revolution and prohibits the sale of alcohol during major elections.
