The first entity toconduct pilot tests and politically-binding local elections (2005) was Coahuila(http://www.iepcc.org.mx/urna/cuadripticoOK.pdf);however, its use has been discontinued since 2009.

Jalisco first usede-voting with binding results in 2009, when all of the voters of onemunicipality cast their votes for the local elections. In that year, a total of35 voting machines were effectively used. Then, in 2012, a total of 972machines were used for receiving the votes of around 540,000 citizens.

Since then, otherentities, seem to have been conducting pilot tests (Aguascalientes, Campeche,Michoac?n, Sinaloa, Yucat?n, Zacatecas, Hidalgo and Colima).

The Distrito Federal, haseven used Internet voting systems for Mexicans living abroad.

At federal level there have been exercises using specific electronic ballots using DRE technology with VVPAT. Also, Mexico city was the first to introduce internet voting in 2012 (see sources).
