Storyline: Mexicans headed to the polls on Sunday to cast their votes in the country's first-ever elections for members of the judiciary -- from the federal supreme court to local courts. A total of 881 judges and magistrates at the national and regional levels, including nine Supreme Court justices, would be selected through the unprecedented elections, according to the National Electoral Institute. Thousands of polling stations were set up nationwide for the one-day vote, said the institute. The results of the elections are expected to be announced in 10 days. Sunday's elections followed an approval from Mexico's Congress of the Union last September for an overhaul of the judicial system, which included the introduction of direct elections for all judges by public vote, and a reduction in the number of Supreme Court justices from 11 to 9.
