Eleventh federal electoral district of Chiapas
The eleventh federal electoral district of Chiapas (Distrito electoral federal 11 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 11th district was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, Chiapas only had nine federal electoral districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12.[3] The eleventh district elected its first deputy, to the 57th Congress, in the 1997 mid-terms.
District territory
Under the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the eleventh district comprises 11 municipalities:
- Altamirano, Amatenango del Valle, Chanal, Huixtán, La Independencia, Las Margaritas, Las Rosas, Maravilla Tenejapa, Oxchuc, San Cristóbal de Las Casas and Teopisca.[5]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Las Margaritas.[6]
With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 63% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[5]
