Federal electoral district of Mexico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The thirteenth federal electoral district of Chiapas (Distrito electoral federal 13 de Chiapas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.
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.[1][2]
The district was created by the 2017 redistricting process and was first contested at the 2018 general election.
Under the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] the district covers 14 municipalities in the south of the state, including a portion of the border with Guatemala:
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Huehuetán.[6]
From 2017 to 2022 the district was in the same part of the state but comprised a slightly different set of 13 municipalities: Amatenango de la Frontera, Bejucal de Ocampo, Bella Vista, Chicomuselo, La Grandeza, Huehuetan, Mazapa de Madero, Mazatán, Motozintla, El Porvenir, Siltepec, Tapachula and Tuzantán.[7]
