Tenth federal electoral district of Chihuahua explained

The tenth federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 10 de Chihuahua) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Chihuahua.During its existence it returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 56th sessions of Congress (1979 to 1997). Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the second region.[1] [2]

The 10th district was created as part of the 1977 political reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election. It was dissolved in the 1996 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted ten districts.[3]

It was centred on the city of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, and covered the municipalities ofCuauhtémoc, Cusihuiriachi, Dr. Belisario Domínguez, Gran Morelos, Guachochi, Nonoava, Riva Palacio, Rosales, Rosario, San Francisco de Borja, San Francisco de Conchos, Satevó and Valle de Zaragoza.[4]
