Second federal electoral district of Hidalgo explained

The second federal electoral district of Hidalgo (Distrito electoral federal 02 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 the northwestern portion of the state and its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Ixmiquilpan.[1] In addition to Ixmiquilpan, it covers another 17 adjacent municipalities: Alfajayucan, Cardonal, Chapulhuacán, Chilcuautla, Jacala de Ledezma, La Misión, Mixquiahuala de Juárez, Nicolás Flores, Pacula, Pisaflores, Progreso de Obregón, San Salvador, Santiago de Anaya, Tasquillo, Tecozautla, Tlahuiltepa and Zimapán.[4]

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 60% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[4]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022Between 2017 and 2022, the district comprised Ixmiquilpan (the head town) and another 15 municipalities: Alfajayucan, Cardonal, Chapulhuacán, Chilcuautla, Jacala de Ledezma, La Misión, Nicolás Flores, Pacula, Pisaflores, Progreso de Obregón, San Salvador, Santiago de Anaya, Tasquillo, Tecozautla and Zimapán.[5] [6] In other words, the 2017 configuration without Mixquiahuala and Tlahuiltepa.
2005–2017Under the districting scheme in force from 2005 to 2017, the district covered Ixmiquilpan and another 14 municipalities. The configuration was almost the same as in the 2017–2022 plan: the only change was that Progreso de Obregón was assigned to the third district.[7] [8]
1996–2005The 1996 redistricting process created Hidalgo's 7th district. Between 1996 and 2005, the second district comprised Ixmiquilpan and 13 other municipalities: Alfajayucan, Cardonal, Chapulhuacán, Chilcuautla, Huichapan, Ixmiquilpan, Jacala de Ledezma, La Misión, Nicolás Flores, Pacula, Pisaflores, Tasquillo, Tecozautla and Zimapán.[9]
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, Hidalgo's seat allocation rose from five to six.[10] The seond district's head town was at Tulancingo and it comprised 13 municipalities.[11]
