Mexicans marched Sunday against President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s overhaul of the electoral system, with demonstrators nationwide criticizing the reforms ahead of next year’s elections.

Thousands of marchers wearing pink and white, the colors of the electoral body, filled Mexico City’s central square, the Zocalo, according to images broadcast on Milenio TV, which said that people were protesting in more than 100 cities. Mexicans abroad protested as well, including in Madrid. Protesters carried signs with the message, “Do not touch my vote.”
