This paper explores the conditions and the levers for change that favour municipal organic law in threes states with different states of alternation: Hidalgo, Guanajuato and Tlaxcala. This is a research on different stages of legitimization of local governments in these states and the consequence in the institutional processes. There is a change in local democracy and an exercise of a less authoritarian power.
