- Senators in Mexico have approved the controversial Judicial reform bill.
- Under the new measures, Mexico will become the world’s first country to allow voters to elect judges at all levels – including the country’s Supreme Court.
- Judges for the top court have typically been affirmed by the Senate from a shortlist submitted by the president.
- It has slashed the number of Supreme Court judges to nine from 11, reduced the length of their terms to 12 years.
- It also abolished a minimum age requirement of 35 and halved necessary work experience to five years, among other things.
