Eleventh federal electoral district of Veracruz explained
The eleventh federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 11 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.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress 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 third region.[1] [2]
District territory
Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.[3] The reconfigured 11th district comprises five municipalities in the Olmeca region in the south-east of the state:
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the port city of Coatzacoalcos.[5]
Previous districting schemes
- 2017–2022Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 11th district still had its head town at Coatzacoalcos but comprised only four of the five 2022–2030 municipalities: Nanchital was assigned to the 20th district.[6]
- 2005–2017Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process. Between 2005 and 2017 the 11th district had its head town at Coatzacoalcos and it comprised the municipalities of Coatzacoalcos, Nanchital and Agua Dulce.[7] [8]
- 1996–2005Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Coatepec in the state's central mountain region.[9] [8]
- 1978–1996The 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.[10] The 11th district had its head town at Veracruz and it covered a part of that city.[11]
