The claim that 2024 Mexican presidential turnout was 60% is consistent with the sources: INE preliminary data showed 60.92%, INE's final district-count figure was 61.04%, and AP, IDEA and other outlets reported about 60% to 61%. The claim's extraction from the post's 'In her election, it was 60%' is faithful, since the post refers to Sheinbaum's presidential election.
What was said
… So who's she appealing to exactly? Cartels are in alignment with the NGOS. Uhm, and as I mentioned before, you had 100 million eligible voters in Mexico. The previous election had a turnout of 63%. In her election, it was 60%, so very low. No, I don't know if that's out of fear or what, just because no one represented them.

Supports. Mexico's Electoral Institute (INE) preliminary results, as cited by the UCSD Democratic Integrity report, recorded a June 2 turnout of 60.92%.[2]
Supports. INE's official district-count announcement put final turnout at 61.04% of registered voters, with 60,115,184 votes counted.[4]
Supports. AP reported turnout 'appeared to be about 60%,' and International IDEA reported 60.54%, both consistent with the 60% figure.[1][5]
Supports. Mexico News Daily and an INE-sourced law firm report describe turnout of just over 61% and between 60% and 61%, which is within rounding of the claimed 60%.[6][7]
Contradicts. An unrated IPU parliamentary data page lists Senate-related voter turnout at 56.6%, but it is an unrated source addressing a different measure and does not reverse the national presidential figure.[8]
Context. The CRS report's 59% figure refers to Sheinbaum's vote share, not turnout, so it does not bear on the turnout claim.[3]
