1st federal electoral district of the State of Mexico
Federal electoral district of Mexico
The 1st federal electoral district of the State of Mexico (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 01 del Estado de México) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 40 such districts in the State of Mexico.[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 fifth region.[2][3]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Jilotepec de Molina Enríquez.[1][7]
The district has a population of 418,923. With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 49% of that number, the first district is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[1][a]
^Population figure indicates total inhabitants, not voters. The INE deems any local or federal electoral district where Indigenous or Afrodescendent inhabitants number 40% or more of the total to be an indigenous district.[1]
