The specialists agreed that, in order to establish this voting system throughout the country, it is necessary to start from local experiences such as the cases of Coahuila, Jalisco and Mexico City, and other countries such as Brazil, India, Estonia, Switzerland and Germany, where different aspects of this form of voting are applied.
