Vice had a short documentary segment on Cherán, which kicked out their corrupt police, a cartel and outlawed political parties, and now their government is elected by show of hands. They had an interview with one of the candidates who used to work at a university, who said they actually didn't want to be elected because it was a massive cut to their salary, but it's the will of the people and it looked like they would be the favorite candidate.
