First federal electoral district of Sonora explained
The first federal electoral district of Sonora (Distrito electoral federal 01 de Sonora) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of seven such districts in the state of Sonora.
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 this district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the first region.[1] [2]
District territory
Under the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] the first district comprises 11 municipalities in the state's north-west: Altar, Atil, Caborca, Oquitoa, Pitiquito, Plutarco Elías Calles, Puerto Peñasco, San Luis Río Colorado, Sáric, Trincheras and Tubutama.[4] The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of San Luis Río Colorado.[5]
Previous districting schemes
- 2017–2022Between 2017 and 2022, the district had the same configuration as at present.[6]
- 2005–2017Under the 2005 plan, the district covered 13 municipalities: the 2022's scheme's 11, plus Benjamín Hill and Santa Ana.[7] [8]
- 1996–2005Under the 1996 districting plan, the head town was moved to San Luis Río Colorado.[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, Sonora's seat allocation rose from four to seven.[10] The first district had its head town at Magdalena de Kino and it covered 34 municipalities in the north of the state.[11]
