The 5th federal electoral district of Veracruz (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 05 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.[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 third region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Francisco Javier Velázquez Vallejo of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]

District territory

[edit]

Veracruz lost a congressional district in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.[6] The reconfigured 5th district covers 256 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the municipalities of Poza Rica, Tamiahua, Tihuatlán and Tuxpan in the north of the state.[7][8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Poza Rica de Hidalgo. The district reported a population of 455,040 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Previous districting schemes

Veracruz 15 23 23 21 20 19
Chamber of Deputies 196 300
Sources: [1][9][10][11]

Because of demographic change, Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms that set the national total at 300.[10]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 5th district had its head town at Poza Rica but it comprised only three municipalities: Poza Rica, Coatzintla and Tihuatlán.[12][11]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[10] Between 2005 and 2017 the district had its head town at Poza Rica and it covered four municipalities: Castillo de Teayo, Coatzintla, Poza Rica and Tihuatlán.[13][14]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Poza Rica and the district covered the municipalities of Coatzintla, Poza Rica and Tihuatlán.[15][14]

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23.[9] The 5th district had its head town at Misantla and it covered the municipalities of Acajete, Atzalán, Coacoatzintla, Colipa, Chiconquiaco, Jilotepec, Juchique, Landero y Coss, Miahuatlán, Las Minas, Misantla, Nautla, Perote, Tatatila, Tenochtitlán, Tlacolulan, Tonavan, Vega de Alatorre, Vigas de Ramírez, Villa Aldama and Yecuatla.[16]
