Plebiscite for the Political Reform of the Federal District
The Plebiscite for the Political Reform of the Federal District (Span. D.F.) was the first citizen plebiscite in Mexico and was held on March 21, 1993. It was organized by nine members of the Assembly of Representatives of the Federal District and Citizen Support Council to the Plebiscite. The tables were installed by the citizens in public places. The Arturo Rosenblueth Foundation was in charge of counting the votes. The questions were: 1) Do you agree that the rulers of D.F. should be elected by a direct and secret ballot of the citizens? 2) Do you agree that D.F. should have its own legislative power? 3) Do you agree that the Federal District should become a state of the federation?
