Eighth federal electoral district of Guerrero explained

The eighth federal electoral district of Guerrero (Distrito electoral federal 08 de Guerrero) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Guerrero.

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 fourth region.[1] [2]

District territory

Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] the eighth district covers 17 municipalities in the state's south-eastern Costa Chica region:[4]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Ometepec.[5]

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 52% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[4]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022Between 2017 and 2022, Guerrero was allocated nine electoral districts. The eight district had its head town at Ayutla de los Libresand it comprised 12 municipalities:[6]
2005–2017The 2005 districting plan assigned Guerrero nine districts. The eighth district's head town was at Ayutla de los Libres. The district covered the same area as in 2017 plan but at the time comprised only ten municipalities.[7]
1996–2005Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Guerrero ten districts, the eighth district had its head town at Ometepec and it covered 12 municipalities:[8] [9]
1978–1996The 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, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten.[10] The newly restored eighth district was located inland, in the north of the state. Its head town was at the city of Taxco and it covered ten municipalities:[11]
