The eighth federal electoral district of Coahuila (Distrito electoral federal 08 de Coahuila) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which the territory of Mexico is divided and one of the eight that are located in the state of Coahuila.
It elects one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative period, 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 second region.[1] [2]
It was created as a result of the 2022 redistricting process and therefore elected its first deputy, to the 66th Congress, in the 2024 general election.[3]
The eighth electoral district of Coahuila is made up of 205 electoral sections that correspond to the municipalities of Arteaga, General Cepeda, Matamoros, Parras de la Fuente, Ramos Arizpe, Viesca and the south of Torreón. In it, there is an Electoral Registry of 251,491 people and a nominal list of 248,186 citizens.[4] The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Ramos Arizpe.[5]
