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 the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.[2][3]
The 19th district was created in 1978 and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.
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 19th district covers nine municipalities in the state's southern Papaloapan and Los Tuxtlas regions:
- Ángel R. Cabada, Catemaco, Hueyapan de Ocampo, Mecayapan, Pajapan, San Andrés Tuxtla, Santiago Tuxtla, Soteapan and Tatahuicapan.[5]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of San Andrés Tuxtla.[6]
Previous districting schemes
edit- 2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 19th district comprised ten municipalities: three in the Los Tuxtlas region (Catemaco, San Andrés Tuxtla and Santiago Tuxtla) and seven in the Papaloapan region (Acula, Alvarado, Amatitlán, Angel R. Cabada, Lerdo de Tejada, Saltabarranca and Tlacotalpan). Its head town was the city of San Andrés Tuxtla.[7]
- 2005–2017
Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 19th district had its head town at San Andrés Tuxtla and it comprised nine municipalities in the same region as the later schemes: Acula, Amatitlán, Angel R. Cabada, Catemaco, Lerdo de Tejada, Saltabarranca, San Andrés Tuxtla, Santiago Tuxtla and Tlacotalpan.[8][9]
- 1996–2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which assigned Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was moved to San Andrés Tuxtla.[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 newly created 19th district had its head town at Martínez de la Torre, to the north of the state capital at Xalapa, and it covered the municipalities of Altotonga, Jalacingo, Martínez de la Torre, Tecolutla and Tlapacoyan.[12]
