Second federal electoral district of Veracruz
The second federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 02 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.[a]
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.[2][3]
District territory
[edit]Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.[4] The reconfigured second district covers 16 municipalities in the Huasteca Baja region in the north of the state:[5]
- Álamo Temapache, Naranjos Amatlán, Benito Juárez, Castillo de Teayo, Cerro Azul, Chicontepec, Chinampa de Gorostiza, Huayacocotla, Ilamatlán, Ixhuatlán de Madero, Tancoco, Tepetzintla, Texcatepec, Tlachichilco, Zacualpan and Zontecomatlán.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Álamo.[6]
With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 59% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute as an indigenous district.[7]
Previous districting schemes
[edit]- 2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The second district comprised 15 municipalities in the north of the state: Benito Juárez, Chalma, Chiconamel, Chicontepec, Chontla, Huayacocotla, Ilamatlán, Ixcatepec, Ixhuatlán de Madero, Platón Sánchez, Tantoyuca, Texcatepec, Tlachichilco, Zacualpan and Zontecomatlán. The head town was at Tantoyuca.[8]
- 2005–2017
Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the district had its head town at Tantoyuca and it covered 16 municipalities: the same group as in 2017–2022, plus Citlaltépetl.[9][10]
- 1996–2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Chicontepec de Tejeda.[11][10]
- 1978–1996
The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23.[12] The second district had its head town at Tuxpan in the Huasteca Baja and it covered the municipalities of Cazones, Cerro Azul, Tamiahua, Tancoco, Tepetzintla and Tuxpan.[13]
