Jalisco's districts in 2017–2022

The 15th federal electoral district of Jalisco (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 15 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]

Suspended in 1930,[a] the 15th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Alonso de Jesús Vázquez Jiménez of the National Action Party (PAN).[7][8]

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,[9] Jalisco's 15th district is located in the east of the state, along the border with Guanajuato and Michoacán, and comprises 210 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 11 of the state's 125 municipalities:[10]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of La Barca. The district reported a population of 408,273 in the 2020 Census.[1]

2017–2022

Jalisco regained its 20th congressional seat in the 2017 redistricting process. The 15th district's head town was at La Barca and it covered nine municipalities:[14][13]
  • Atotonilco el Alto, Ayotlán, La Barca, Degollado, Jamay, Ocotlán, Poncitlán, Tototlán and Zapotlán del Rey.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Jalisco had 19 districts. This district's head town was at La Barca and it covered nine municipalities:[15][16]
  • Atotonilco el Alto, Ayotlán, La Barca, Degollado, Jamay, Jesús María, Ocotlán, Tototlán and Zapotlán del Rey.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Jalisco lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at La Barca and it comprised nine municipalities:[17][16]
  • Atotonilco el Alto, Ayotlán, La Barca, Degollado, Jamay, Ocotlán, Poncitlán, Tototlán and Zapotlán del Rey.

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.[11] The restored 15th district's head town was at Guadalajara, the state capital, and it covered a portion of the city's Hidalgo and Libertad sectors.[18]

Notes

  1. ^ An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
