2007 Yucatán state election
Local elections were held in the Mexican state of Yucatán on May 20, 2007. Voters went to the polls to elect on the local level:

- 25 local deputies to serve for a three-year term in the Congress of Yucatán.
Gubernatorial election
After losing the candidacy in the PAN primaries, Ana Rosa Payán accepted the candidacy for the Todos Somos Yucatán coalition. 15 members of the PAN were also incarcerated after removing advertising material supporting non-PAN candidates and for exchanging cash for voting cards.
Opposition parties had accused both the federal and state governments of using public funds and publicly funded programs to support the PAN candidate. In response to this issue, the federal government decided to freeze all social programs on May 14, 2007, until after the elections.
