Within the framework of the process of revocation of the president-elect for the period 2018-2024, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, where millions of people will be able to give his opinion on Sunday, April 10, so that the Mexican president ends his term early, the government of Mexico City announced that the so-called Dry Law will be implemented.

This will deny the sale of alcoholic beverages in the 16 mayors of the demarcation, since according to the Official Gazette of the CDMX, what will be sought with this decision is to maintain order and ensure the completion of the revocation.

In this regard, here we will recall the days and times when the Dry Law must be respected, a measure that must be applied in all commercial establishments, as well as orders for the sale of groceries and groceries in general.

At what time will the Dry Law start?

It should be remembered that the Mandate Revocation process was requested by citizens to determine the early termination of Andrés Manuel López Obrador's office, based on the loss of trust.

Throughout the procedure, that is, on Sunday, April 10, participants or interested parties must cast their votes freely and secretly in the boxes installed for this purpose.

Citizens should mark only one of the two options to the question: “Do you agree that Andrés Manuel López Obrador, President of the United Mexican States, should his mandate be revoked due to loss of confidence or remain in the presidency until the end of his term?”
