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.[1][2]

District territory

edit

Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections,[3] the first district covers eight municipalities in north-eastern Chiapas: Catazajá, La Libertad, Palenque, Sabanilla, Salto de Agua, Tila, Tumbalá and Yajalón.[4] The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Palenque.[5]

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 71% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[4]

Previous districting schemes

edit
2017–2022

From 2017 to 2022 the district had the same configuration as under the 2022 plan.[6]

2005–2017

The 2005 district covered the same municipalities as under the 2022 and 2017 plans but also included Chilón. The head town was the city of Palenque.[7]

1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2005, the district had exactly the same composition as under the 2005 plan.[8]

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, Chiapas's seat allocation rose from six to nine.[9] The first district had its head town at Tuxtla Gutiérrez and it covered seven municipalities.[10]
