Fifth federal electoral district of Hidalgo explained

The fifth federal electoral district of Hidalgo (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Hidalgo) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of the seven currently operational districts in the state of Hidalgo.[1]

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. As of 2024, votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth electoral region.[2] [3]

District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan, the district covers ten municipalities in the southwestern portion of Hidalgo, adjacent to the states of Mexico and Querétaro:Atitalaquia, Atotonilco de Tula, Chapantongo, Huichapan, Nopala de Villagrán, Tepeji del Río de Ocampo, Tepetitlán, Tezontepec de Aldama, Tlaxcoapan and Tula de Allende.[4] [5]

Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the El Llano neighbourhood of the city of Tula de Allende.[4] [1]

Previous districting plans

2017–2022
  • Between 2017 and 2022, the fifth district comprised the same 10 municipalities as in the 2022 plan.[6] [7]
    2005–2017
  • Under the 2005 scheme, the fifth district covered the same 10 municipalities.[8] [9]
    1996–2005
  • The 1996 redistricting process created Hidalgo's 7th district. From 1996 to 2005, the fifth district covered 12 municipalities in the same part of the state: Ajacuba, Tetepango, Tlahuelilpan, Atitalaquia, Atotonilco de Tula, Chapantongo, Nopala de Villagrán, Tepeji del Río de Ocampo, Tepetitlán, Tezontepec de Aldama, Tlaxcoapan and Tula de Allende.[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, Hidalgo's seat allocation rose from five to six.[11] The fifth district's head town was at Zimapán in the north-west of the state and it comprised 14 municipalities.[12]
