At the close of voting, exit polls were indicating a victory for [[José Reyes Baeza]] of a [[Institutional Revolutionary Party|PRI]]-led alliance with a lead of ten percentage points. As the count progressed, [[Javier Corral Jurado]] of the [[National Action Party (Mexico)|PAN]] – representing an unusual alliance of his party and the left-leaning [[Party of the Democratic Revolution|PRD]] – conceded the election at around 23h00 local time.

==State congress==
*22 [[First-past-the-post]] deputies:
**17 for "Alianza con la Gente" ([[Institutional Revolutionary Party|PRI]], [[Green Ecological Party of Mexico|PVEM]], [[Labour Party (Mexico)|PT]])

**8 for "Todos Somos Chihuahua" ([[National Action Party (Mexico)|PAN]], [[Party of the Democratic Revolution|PRD]], [[Convergencia|CD]])

==Municipalities==
Preliminary results indicated the state's 67 [[Municipalities of Chihuahua|municipalities]] would be divided as follows:
*44: PRI (in alliance with PVEM and PT)
*21: PAN (in alliance with PRD and CD)
*1: PRD
*1: PVEM ([[Manuel Benavides]] municipality)

The PAN/PRD alliance won a closely fought mayoral race in state capital [[Chihuahua, Chihuahua|Chihuahua]], previously governed by the PRI. In a give-and-take action between the state's two largest cities, borderland industrial and commercial powerhouse [[Ciudad Juárez]] fell to the PRI after 12 years of PAN rule.
