Hometown Associations and Parties as Vehicles for Mexican Electoral Campaigns in the US

Abstract

Despite accounting for a tenth of Mexico’s population, the Mexican diaspora has relatively little impact in Mexican elections, with single digit voter turnout and legal restrictions to campaigning. Outreach by Mexican parties is limited and ad hoc in nature, failing to build permanent diaspora party networks. Instead, Hometown Associations (HTAs) are the primary vehicle for migrant political engagement. This paper examines the relationship of Mexican parties, HTAs, and Mexican migrants, using public records of international travel by Mexican party officials.
