First federal electoral district of Hidalgo explained

The first federal electoral district of Hidalgo (Distrito electoral federal 01 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 region.[2] [3]

District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan, the first district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Huejutla in the extreme northeast of the state.[1]

The district covers 18 municipalities:

Atlapexco, Calnali, Eloxochitlán, Huautla, Huazalingo, Huejutla de Reyes, Jaltocan, Juárez Hidalgo, Lolotla, Molango de Escamilla, San Felipe Orizatlán, Tepehuacán de Guerrero, Tianguistengo, Tlanchinol, Xochiatipan, Xochicoatlán, Yahualica and Zacualtipán de Ángeles.[4]

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 81% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[4]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022 Fifteen municipalities in the same part of the state:
  • Atlapexco, Calnali, Huautla, Huazalingo, Huejutla de Reyes, Jaltocan, Lolotla, Molango de Escamilla, San Felipe Orizatlán, Tepehuacán de Guerrero, Tianguistengo, Tlanchinol, Xochiatipan, Xochicoatlán and Yahualica.[5] [6]

    Thus, the municipalities of the 2022–2030 district, minus Eloxochitlán, Juárez Hidalgo and Zacualtipán.

    2005–2017 Thirteen municipalities in the same part of the state:
  • Atlapexco, Calnali, Huautla, Huazalingo, Huejutla de Reyes, Jaltocan, Lolotla, San Felipe Orizatlán, Tepehuacán de Guerrero, Tianguistengo, Tlanchinol, Xochiatipan and Yahualica.[7] [8]
  • That is, the 2017 district minus Molango and Xochicoatlán.
    1996–2005 The 1996 redistricting process created Hidalgo's 7th district. The first district covered fourteen municipalities in the same part of the state:
  • Atlapexco, Calnali, Huautla, Huazalingo, Huejutla de Reyes, Jaltocan, Lolotla, Molango de Escamilla, San Felipe Orizatlán, Tepehuacán de Guerrero, Tianguistengo, Tlanchinol, Xochiatipan and Yahualica.[9]
  • The re-inclusion of Molango is the only change compared to the 2005 district.
    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.[10] The first district's head town was at the state capital, Pachuca, and it comprised 12 municipalities.[11]
