The 7th federal electoral district of Michoacán (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 07 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 Marcela Velázquez Vázquez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[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 7th district covers 319 precincts (secciones electorales) across 17 municipalities in the north of the state:[7]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Zacapu. The district reported a population of 466,382 in the 2020 Census; with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 42% of that total, Michoacán's 7th is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district: the only one in the state.[1][a]

Under the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13.[8] The 7th district's head town was at Tacámbaro in the central region of the state and it was composed of 11 municipalities:[15]
