The twenty-second federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 22 de Veracruz) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Veracruz.
During its existence, the 22nd district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th sessions of Congress. Votes cast in this district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.[1] [2]
Created as part of the 1977 political reforms, it was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and it elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms.[3] It and the 23rd district were dissolved in 2005 because the state's population no longer warranted 23 districts.[4]
In its final form (1996–2005), the district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and collated, was at the port city of Coatzacoalcos in the south of the state.[5] [6]
Under the previous districting scheme, in force from 1978 to 1996, the district was located further to the north-west. Its head town was at San Andrés Tuxtla and it covered the municipalities of Ángel R. Cabada, José Azueta, Lerdo de Tejada, Saltabarranca, San Andrés Tuxtla, Santiago Tuxtla and Tlacotalpan.[7]
