Fifth federal electoral district of Yucatán explained

The fifth federal electoral district of Yucatán (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Yucatán)is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Yucatán.

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]

Created as part of the 1996 redistricting process, it was first contested in the 1997 mid-term election.[3]

District territory

Yucatán gained a congressional seat in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the reconfigured fifth district is located in the south and west of the state. It comprises 29 municipalities:[5]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Umán.[6]

The district has a population of 415,271. With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 81% of that number, Yucatán's fifth – like all the state's electoral districts, both local and federal – is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[6]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022Between 1996 and 2022, Yucatán had five federal electoral districts. Under the 2017 scheme, the fifth district's head town was at Ticuland it covered 34 municipalities in the south and west of the state but, unlike the 2022 plan, excluding the coastal municipalities:[7]
2005–2017Under the 2005 districting scheme, the district covered 33 municipalities in the west and south of the state, including the coastal municipalities to the west of Progreso. The district's head town was the city of Ticul.[8] [9]
1996–2005 Between 1996 and 2005, Yucatán's new fifth district covered a similar territory as under the 2017 scheme: without the coastal municipalities of the north-west and with a larger slice of the south of the state. The head town was Ticul.[9]
