Seventh federal electoral district of Chihuahua
The seventh federal electoral district of Chihuahua (Distrito electoral federal 07 de Chihuahua) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.[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 first region.[2][3]
Suspended in 1930,[a] the seventh district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Chihuahua had only six congressional districts;[7] under the 1977 reforms, the number increased to ten.[8] The restored seventh district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.
District territory
[edit]Under the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[9] the district is located in the centre-west portion of the state, covering the municipalities of Bachíniva, Buenaventura, Casas Grandes, Cuauhtémoc, Cusihuiriachi, Galeana, Santa Isabel, Gómez Farías, Gran Morelos, Guerrero, Ignacio Zaragoza, Madera, Matachí, Moris, Namiquipa, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Ocampo, Riva Palacio and Temósachic.[10]
Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Cuauhtémoc.[1][10]
Previous districting schemes
[edit]- 2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, the seventh district covered a different configuration of municipalities in the centre and west of the state. Ciudad Cuauhtémoc served as its head town.[11]
- 2005–2017
Under the 2005 districting scheme, the seventh district covered the municipalities of Bachíniva, Buenaventura, Casas Grandes, Cuauhtémoc, Galeana, Gómez Farías, Guerrero, Ignacio Zaragoza, Madera, Matachí, Moris, Namiquipa, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Ocampo, Riva Palacio and Temósachi in the west of the state. The head town was Ciudad Cuauhtémoc.[12][13]
- 1996–2005
Chihuahua lost its tenth district in the 1996 redistricting process. Between 1996 and 2005, the seventh district was located in the centre-west portion of the state and comprised mostly municipalities of the Sierra Tarahumara region: Bachíniva, Batopilas, Bocoyna, Carichí, Chínipas, Cuauhtémoc, Cusihuiriachi, Dr. Belisario Domínguez, Gran Morelos, Guazapares, Guerrero, Maguarichi, Moris, Nonoava, Ocampo, Riva Palacio, San Francisco de Borja, Santa Isabel, Satevó, Uruachi and Urique.[13]
- 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, Chihuahua's seat allocation rose from six to ten.[7] The restored seventh district comprised the southern portion of the state capital, the city of Chihuahua, the rural areas of its surrounding municipality, and the municipalities of Aldama, Aquiles Serdán, Santa Isabel,[b] Julimes and Meoqui.[15]

Notes
[edit]- ^ An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
- ^ The municipality of Santa Isabel was called "General Trías" at the time.[14]
- ^ Rodríguez Gómez switched allegiance from Morena to the PT on 30 June 2020.
