Federal electoral districts of Oaxaca since 2022
Oaxaca under the 2017–2022 districting plan

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 third region.[1][2]

District territory

edit

Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[3] the sixth district covers 85 of the state's municipalities.[a] The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Tlaxiaco in the Mixteca region.[6][7]

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 79% of its population, it is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[6]

Previous districting schemes

edit
2017–2022

Oaxaca's 11th district was dissolved in the 2017 redistricting process. Under the 2017 to 2022 scheme, the sixth district had its head town at Tlaxiaco and it covered 82 municipalities.[8]

2005–2017

Between 2005 and 2017, the sixth district's head town was at Tlaxiaco and it comprised 73 municipalities.[9][10]

1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2017, Oaxaca's seat allocation was increased to 11. Under the 1996 districting plan, the head town was moved to Tlaxiaco.[11][10]

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, Oaxaca's seat allocation rose from nine to ten.[12] The sixth district had its head town at Huajuapan de León in the Mixteca region.[13]
