Jalisco's districts in 2017–2022

The 17th federal electoral district of Jalisco (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 17 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 17th 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, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Antonio de Jesús Ramírez Ramos of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[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 17th district covers an area mostly located on the northern and western shores of Lake Chapala. It comprises 153 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across nine 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 Jocotepec. The district reported a population of 408,742 in the 2020 Census.[1]

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 17th district's head town was at Zapopan and it covered a part of the city and of its surrounding municipality.[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]
