Alexandra! Just found your Substack. I wrote about that today too. How the 13% turnout isn't the whole story, but just a move in a longer game

Hi Ruben, thanks for reading! Yes, you're right - just one piece of a much bigger (and longer) game. Also interesting to see the number of blank and annulled ballots!

Agreed! There’s real opportunity for granular analysis. Even in standard Mexican elections, ballot design can significantly affect null and blank vote rates. In this case, the cognitive load may have been a key variable.

Just subscribed to your Substack! Really compelling work.
