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.[2] The reconfigured fifth district covers the municipalities of Poza Rica, Tamiahua, Tihuatlán and Tuxpan in the north of the state.[3]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Poza Rica de Hidalgo.[4]

Previous districting scheme

edit

Between 2017 and 2022, the fifth district still had its head town at Poza Rica but comprised only three municipalities: Poza Rica, Coatzintla and Tihuatlán.[5]
