The 1st federal electoral district of Guerrero(Distrito electoral federal 01 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.[1][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. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth region.[3][4]
District territory
Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[5] the reconfigured 1st district is located in the state's Tierra Caliente region and covers 19 municipalities:[6]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Altamirano in the municipality of Pungarabato.[1]
Previous districting schemes
2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Guerrero was allocated nine electoral districts. The 1st district had its head town at Ciudad Altamirano and it comprised 16 municipalities:
Coyuca de Catalán, Ajuchitlán, San Miguel Totolapan, Apaxtla, Cuetzala del Progreso, Teloloapan, Ixcateopan, Pedro Ascencio Alquisiras, General Neri, Arcelia, Tlapehuala, Tlalchapa, Cutzamala, Pungarabato and Zirándaro (all included in the 2022 plan), plus the municipality of Cocula.[7]
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Guerrero ten districts, the head town was moved to Coyuca de Catalán. The district covered nine municipalities:
Ajuchitlán del Progreso, Arcelia, Coyuca de Catalán, Cutzamala de Pinzón, Pungarabato, San Miguel Tlalchapa, Tlapehuala, Totolapan and Zirándaro.[9][10]
^Because of shifting population patterns, Guerrero currently has two fewer districts than the ten the state was assigned under the 1977 electoral reforms that set the national total at 300.[2]
^Salgado Romero resigned his seat on 16 August 2000.
