Vota.JPEGIf there is such a thing as an activist norteño band, it's Los Tigres del Norte. Apparently, the Mexican government knows this, and is using them to advance their initiative to get Mexicans in other countries to vote in the national elections, according to La Jornada:

La Secretaría de Gobernación solicitó formalmente a Los Tigres del Norte su apoyo para promover el voto de los mexicanos en el exterior. "Nos solicitaron que invitemos a todos aquellos que existen en otro país para que voten. Nos invitó el patronato de votación de la República Mexicana...Gobernación, la Secretaría de Gobernación!, para que le hagamos un anuncio en Estados Unidos para invitar a todos los ciudadanos paisanos a que voten.

In the interview with La Jornada, the world's most famous Norteño group refused to nail down who they were voting for, and stayed safe by saying: "Yo le voy al partido al que la gente le tenga más ganas, que sea más efectivo, sea quien sea. Que haga algo por nuestra Patria."
