The first election held after the 2014 constitutional amendment came into force was the legislative election of 2015. It saw 211 women voted into the Chamber of Deputies - 42.37% of the total and up from 36.8% in the previous 2012 election (PARLINE database). Many of the OECD countries that have statutory gender quotas for their parliaments still fall short of the numerical target set by law. In Mexico, for example, while the 2008 electoral law targeted a gender quota of 40% of women, the 2009 legislative election delivered only 28.2%. Prior to 2011, a loophole in the electoral law allowed parties to nominate less than 40% of women if they did so as a result of a “democratic election process” - as defined by each political party (Box 5.3). In 2011, the TEPJF crucially ruled that the practice was unconstitutional, so closing the loophole.
