The 5th federal electoral district of Querétaro (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 05 de Querétaro) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Querétaro.[1]

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in this district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies; since 2024, those elected from the fifth region.[2][3]

The 5th district was created as part of the 2017 districting process and has therefore only returned deputies to Congress since the 2018 general election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Mario Calzada Mercado of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[4][5]

District territory

[edit]

Under the National Electoral Institute's 2022 districting plan, which assigned Querétaro an additional seat in Congress and is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] the 5th district covers 73 precincts (secciones electorales) across three of the state's 18 municipalities:[7][8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Pedro Escobedo. The district reported a population of 346,002 in the 2020 Census.[1]
