MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Another judge on Mexico’s Supreme Court will resign, she announced on Wednesday, making the jurist the third in two days to do so after a constitutional overhaul was enacted last month that requires all judges be elected by popular vote.

Judge Margarita Rios will step down from her post next August, she wrote in a letter to the Senate. She will not run for election, she added.
