Answer:

Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of Mexico won all the elections from
1930 to 2000.
The opposition parties did contest elections, but never managed win. The
PRI used many dirty tricks to attend the elections.
(i) All the government employees had to attend the party meetings
of PRI.
(ii) Teachers of government schools advised and sometimes
forced the parents for casting their votes in favour of PRI.
(iii) Media always criticised the opposition parties but
ignored their good effort.
(iv) Sometimes the Polling booths are shifted from one
place to another without prior notice. It tried to hamper the election procedure.
(v) Being in power, the PRI spent a large sum of money to manipulate
the election and the campaign for the candidate.
In Mexico people seemed to really have a choice, but in reality they had
no choice, but to cast their vote in favour of the PRI.
