A presidential recall referendum was held in Mexico on 10 April 2022 to decide if incumbent president Andrés Manuel López Obrador should stay in office and serve his full six-year term.

The INE, which started preparations in August 2021, stated there was a lack of resources for the consultation organization, causing it to challenge the budget approved by the Chamber of Deputies and ask the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation for their stance.

After suspending preparations, the decision for suspension was revoked by the Supreme Court's recess commission and the Federal Electoral Tribunal, which ordered the INE to perform the consultation.

With that, on 4 February, the call for consultation was approved, causing the installation of 57,377 polling stations and 1.5 billion Mexican pesos available for the INE, less than half of the initially requested money.

The initial referendum wording proposed was: ″Do you agree that the tenure of the person holding the position of the president of the Republic be terminated early due to loss of confidence?″[11] Nevertheless, the legislative groups of Morena, the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), and the Labor Party (PT) did not get the necessary votes to convene the special session.
