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 elected from the third region.[2][3]

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.[4] The reconfigured 14th district covers nine municipalities in the Olmeca region in the south-east of the state:

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Minatitlán.[6]

Previous districting schemes

edit
2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 14th district comprised seven municipalities in the same region: Las Choapas, Hidalgotitlán, Jesús Carranza, Minatitlán, San Juan Evangelista, Sayula and Uxpanapa. Its head town was the city of Minatitlán.[7]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 14th district had its head town at Minatitlán and it comprised seven municipalities: Las Choapas, Hidalgotitlán, Ixhuatlán del Sureste, Jesús Carranza, Minatitlán, Moloacán and Uxpanapa.[8]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Boca del Río in the Sotavento region.[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.[10] The 14th district had its head town at Minatitlán and it covered the municipalities of Minatitlán and Las Choapas.[11]
