Legislative elections were held in Mexico on 1 July 1979.[1] The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) won 296 of the 400 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.[2] Voter turnout was 49%.[3]
They were the first national elections held after the approval of the political reforms of 1977, which allowed the Mexican Communist Party, Mexican Democratic Party and the Workers' Socialist Party to obtain legal registration and compete in elections for the first time, as well as increasing the size of the Chamber of Deputies from 237 seats to 400.[4][5]
The elected deputies served during the 51st session of Congress (1979–1982).
