== Government and politics ==

=== Government ===
The [[Constitution of Yucatán]] provides that the government of Yucatán, like the government of every other state in Mexico, consists of three [[political power|powers]]: the executive, the [[legislature|legislative]] and the [[judiciary]].

Executive power rests in the [[governor of Yucatán]], who is directly elected by the citizens, using a secret ballot, to a six-year term with no possibility of reelection. Legislative power rests in the [[Congress of Yucatán]] which is a [[unicameral legislature]] composed of 25 deputies. Judicial power is invested in the High Court of Justice of Yucatán and its district courts.

=== Municipalities ===
{{Main|Municipalities of Yucatán}}

The State of Yucatán is divided into 106 municipalities, each headed by a [[municipal president]] (mayor). Usually municipalities are named after the city that serves as municipal seat; e.g. the municipal seat of the [[Mérida (municipality)|municipality of Mérida]] is the city of [[Mérida, Yucatán|Mérida]].

=== Politics ===
The [[2024 Mexican local elections|2024 local election]] in Yucatán was held on 2 June. [[Joaquín Díaz Mena]] was elected to succeed [[Mauricio Vila Dosal]] as governor.<ref>{{cite news |title=Oficializan en Yucatán el triunfo de Huacho Díaz |url=https://www.excelsior.com.mx/nacional/oficializan-en-yucatan-el-triunfo-de-huacho-diaz/1656628 |access-date=13 August 2024 |work=Excélsior |date=10 June 2024}}</ref>
