Fourth federal electoral district of Chihuahua explained

The fourth federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 04 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.

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 district covers a portion of the north of Ciudad Juárez. Ciudad Juárez also serves as its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated.[4]

Previous districting schemes

Between 2017 and 2022, the fourth district covered the northern portion of Ciudad Juárez.[5]

Under the 2005 districting scheme, the district covered the southern portion of Ciudad Juárez,[6] which also served as the head town.

Almost exactly the same as the 2005 configuration.[7]

Between 1979 and 1996, the fourth district covered a portion of the Ciudad Juárez urban area.
