Amy... Oh my. I did some googling and found this...
Does everything in Mexico close for the presidential elections this July?
I'm planning a trip to Mexico City and the last time I was there for an election it was a holiday and no alcohol could be served 24 hours prior to the big day. Is it still like th is? If so, I'll put off my vacation for a week or so.

There is a law in Mexico - popularly referred to as
"Ley Seca"(dry law) - that prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages Election Day and the day before. However, it is up to businesses to remain open or closed.
Presidential elections are always held on Sunday. So it is probable that some business are closed that day, but because they close on Sundays anyway.
