Abstract

The present work presents and explains the results obtained by the Voto Informado 2015 project, which surveyed 2 329 candidates for federal deputies disputing a place in the LXIII Legislature of the Congress. The survey revolved around issues such as society and democracy in Mexico, the country's situation, as well as issues of juncture affairs, transparency and accountability; evaluation of public policies; Budget of the Federation and fiscal policy; Legislative agenda, and the profile of candidates.

The study is innovative because it serves as a tool for informing citizens during the process of deciding who to vote for because they knew the positions and opinions of candidates for federal deputies. In addition, this allowed the creation of a database relevant to the journalistic and academic analysis after the election. The database can be consulted at  http://www.votoinformado.unam.mx
