District territory
editVeracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.[4] The reconfigured 13th district covers 16 municipalities in the state's Sotavento and Mountains regions:
- Camarón de Tejeda, Atoyac, Carrillo Puerto, Comapa, Cotaxtla, Huatusco, Ixhuatlán del Café, Jamapa, Manlio Fabio Altamirano, Medellín de Bravo, Paso del Macho, Sochiapa, Soledad de Doblado, Tepatlaxco, Tlacotepec de Mejía and Zentla.[5]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Huatusco.[6]
Previous districting schemes
edit- 2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 13th district covered 14 municipalities in the same region between the mountains and the sea as at present: Camarón de Tejeda, Carrillo Puerto, Comapa, Cotaxtla, Cuitláhuac, Huatusco, Ignacio de la Llave, Paso del Macho, Paso de Ovejas, Sochiapa, Soledad de Doblado, Tierra Blanca, Tlalixcoyan and Zentla. Its head town was the city of Huatusco.[7]
- 2005–2017
Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 13th district had its head town at Huatusco and it comprised 19 municipalities: Camarón de Tejeda, La Antigua, Atoyac, Tlaltetela, Carrillo Puerto, Comapa, Huatusco, Ixhuatlán del Café, Manlio Fabio Altamirano, Paso del Macho, Paso de Ovejas, Puente Nacional, Sochiapa, Soledad de Doblado, Tenampa, Tepatlaxco, Tlacotepec de Mejía, Totutla and Zentla.[8][9]
- 1996–2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Huatusco.[10][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.[11] The 13th district had its head town at Acayucan and it covered the municipalities of Acayucan, Catemaco, Hueyapan, Isla, Juan Rodríguez Clara, Mecayapan, Playa Vicente and Soteapan.[12]
