On Sunday, Mexicans will vote to pick their next president in a historic race that could see a woman take the top job for the first time.
Claudia Sheinbaum is running for president, along with Xóchitl Gálvez and Jorge Álvarez Máynez. If Sheinbaum wins, she would not just be the first woman in Mexican history to become president, but the first president with Jewish heritage. The 61-year-old Sheinbaum is a former Mexico City mayor and climate scientist. A longtime political ally of incumbent President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, she was the Mexico City environment secretary from 2000-2006 when he was mayor.

Gálvez, backed by an opposition coalition of Mexico’s PRI, PAN and PRD parties, is a former senator and previously served as the top official for indigenous affairs under former President Vicente Fox. A late entrant in the race, Máynez shot to international attention earlier this month when a stage collapsed at his campaign event in the northeastern city of San Pedro Garza García, killing nine people and leaving at least 121 people injured.
In addition to the presidency, there are more than 20,000 positions to fill and an estimated 70,000 candidates vying for those offices, including 128 senate seats and 500 deputy seats; the mayorship of Mexico City; and governor’s offices in Chiapas, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Morelos, Puebla, Tabasco, Veracruz and Yucatán.
