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; since 2024, those elected from the fifth region.[2][3]
The fifth district was created as part of the 2017 districting process and has therefore only returned deputies to Congress since the 2018 general election.
District territory
editUnder the 2022 districting plan, which assigned Querétaro an additional seat in Congress and will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the fifth district covers three of the state's 18 municipalities: Pedro Escobedo, Huimilpan and El Marqués. The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Pedro Escobedo.[5]
Previous districting scheme
editBetween 2017 and 2022, when the state contained only five federal electoral districts, the fifth district covered four municipalities: Amealco de Bonfil, Corregidora, Huimilpan and El Marqués. The head town was at El Pueblito, the seat of the municipality of Corregidora.[6]
