Veracruz under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The seventeenth federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 17 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.[a]

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.

The 17th district was created in 1978 and was first contested in the 1979 legislative election.

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 17th district covers 18 municipalities in the state's Papaloapan region:

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

Previous districting schemes[edit]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 17th district comprised 14 municipalities, with some overlap with the 2022 scheme: Acayucan, Cosamaloapan, Chacaltianguis, Isla, Ixmatlahuacan, Juan Rodríguez Clara, Otatitlán, Playa Vicente, José Azueta, Tlacojalpan, Tuxtilla, Tres Valles, Carlos A. Carrillo and Santiago Sochiapan. Its head town was the city of Cosamaloapan.[5]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 17th district had its head town at Cosamaloapan and it comprised 12 municipalities: Alvarado, Cosamaloapan, Cotaxtla, Ignacio de la Llave, Ixmatlahuacan, Jamapa, Medellín, Otatitlán, Tierra Blanca, Tlacojalpan, Tlalixcoyan and Tres Valles.[6]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which assigned Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was moved to Cosamaloapan.[7]

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.[8] The newly created 17th district had its head town at Chicontepec in the state's northern Huasteca Baja region and it covered the municipalities of Benito Juárez, Chicontepec, Huayacocotla, Ilamatlán, Ixhuatlán de Madero, Texcatepec, Tlachichilco, Zacualpan and Zontecomatlán.[9]
