The ninth federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 09 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.[a]
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period, by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in this district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.[2][3]
District territory
[edit]Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.[4] The reconfigured ninth district comprises 18 municipalities surrounding the state capital, Xalapa, to the west:[5]
- Acajete, Ayahualulco, Banderilla, Coacoatzintla, Coatepec, Cosautlán de Carvajal, Ixhuacán de los Reyes, Jilotepec, Las Minas, Las Vigas de Ramírez, Perote, Rafael Lucio, Tatatila, Teocelo, Tlacolulan, Tlalnelhuayocan, Villa Aldama and Xico.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Coatepec.[6]
Previous districting schemes
[edit]- 2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 9th district comprised 16 municipalities in the same region of the state: the same group as in the 2022 plan but without Las Minas and Villa Aldama, both of which were assigned to the 7th district. Its head town was at Coatepec.[7]
- 2005–2017
Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 9th district had its head town at Coatepec and it covered 17 municipalities: Acajete, Altotonga, Ayahualulco, Coacoatzintla, Coatepec, Cosautlán de Carvajal, Ixhuacán de los Reyes, Las Minas, Perote, Rafael Lucio, Las Vigas de Ramírez, Tatatila, Teocelo, Tlacolulan, Tlalnelhuayocan, Villa Aldama and Xico.[8]
- 1996–2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Perote.[9]
- 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.[10] The 9th district had its head town at Orizaba and it covered the municipalities of Aquila, Atzacán, Huiloapan, Ixhuatlancillo, Maltrata, Mariano Escobedo, Nogales, Orizaba, La Perla, Rafael Delgado and Río Blanco.[11]

Notes
[edit]- ^ 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.[1]
- ^ Yunes Zorrilla resigned his seat on 12 December 2023 to contend (unsuccessfully) for the governorship of Veracruz.[29]
