The 8th federal electoral district of Michoacán (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 08 de Michoacán) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 11 such districts in the state of Michoacán.[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 the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fifth region.[2][3]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Ernesto Núñez Aguilar of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[4][5]
District territory
[edit]Michoacán lost its 12th district in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] the 8th district covers 169 precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-west sector of the municipality of Morelia.[7][a]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Morelia. The district reported a population of 424,851 in the 2020 Census.[1]
