It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session 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]

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 15th district covers 12 municipalities in the state's Mountains region:

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

Previous districting schemes

edit
2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 15th district comprised 10 municipalities in the same region as at present: Alpatláhuac, Atzacan, Calcahualco, Coscomatepec, Ixhuatlancillo, Ixtaczoquitlán, Mariano Escobedo, Orizaba, La Perla and Río Blanco. Its head town was the city of Orizaba.[7]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 15th district had its head town at Orizaba and it comprised 13 municipalities: Alpatlahuac, Aquila, Calcahualco, Coscomatepec, Chocamán, Ixhuatlancillo, Maltrata, Mariano Escobedo, Nogales, Orizaba, La Perla, Río Blanco and Tomatlán.[8][9]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was moved to Orizaba.[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 15th district had its head town at Coatzacoalcos in the south of the state and it covered the municipalities of Coatzacoalcos, Ixhuatlán del Sureste and Moloacán.[12]
