Jalisco's districts in 2017–2022

The 8th federal electoral district of Jalisco (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 08 de Jalisco) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 20 such districts in the state of Jalisco.[1]

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 first region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Paola Milagros Espinosa Sánchez of the National Action Party (PAN).[4][5]

District territory

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] Jalisco's 8th district covers 371 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the western portion of the municipality of Guadalajara.[a]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Guadalajara. The district reported a population of 417,878 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Jalisco regained its 20th congressional seat in the 2017 redistricting process. The 8th district's head town was at Guadalajara and it covered 333 precincts in the north-west of the municipality.[10][9]

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Jalisco had 19 districts. This district's head town was at Guadalajara and it covered 251 precincts in the centre and east of the municipality.[11][12]

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Jalisco lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Guadalajara and it comprised 166 precincts in the north-west of the municipality.[13][12]

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, Jalisco's seat allocation rose from 13 to 20.[7] The 8th district's head town was at La Barca and it covered eight municipalities in the east of the state:[14]
