2)Teachers of government schools used to force the parents to vote for PRI.
3)Media largely ignored the activities of opposition parties except to criticize them.
4)Sometimes the polling booths were shifted from one place to another in the last minute which made it difficult for people to cast their votes.
5)The PRI spent a large sum of money for its candidates.
