Sun Jul 2, 2006 12:36 PM ET

(Reuters) - Mexico holds presidential and legislative elections on Sunday. Voters pick a president for a six-year term and choose hundreds of members of Congress, the mayor of Mexico City and three state governors.

Polls opened at 8 a.m. (1300 GMT) and close 12 hours later in the far west of the country, which is two hours behind Mexico City.
