Resumo:The article aims to analyze the exercise of legislative reelection in the 2021 elections based on the elimination of consecutive prohibition under two criteria: reelection as a right and as a component of parliamentary professionalization. To do this, it reviews the development of the transition from recidivism to re-election as an institutional change, and also identifies the effect that said change has on the legislative careers of popular representatives from a cyclical point of view and of continuity in the interests of the federal deputies who are re-elected for the first time in the 2021 elections. To that end, a database was developed on the trajectories of Mexican legislators based on their experience in different positions of representation and in local and federal public administration.
