22nd federal electoral district of VeracruzThe 22nd federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 22 de Veracruz) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Veracruz. During its existence, the 22nd district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th sessions of Congress. Votes cast in this district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.[1][2] Created as part of the 1977 political reforms, it was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and it elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms.[3] Along with the 23rd district, it was dissolved in the Federal Electoral Institute's 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted 23 districts.[4] TerritoryIn its final form (1996–2005), the district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied, was at the port city of Coatzacoalcos in the south of the state.[5][6] Under the previous districting scheme, in force from 1978 to 1996, the district was located further to the north-west. Its head town was at San Andrés Tuxtla and it covered the municipalities of Ángel R. Cabada, José Azueta, Lerdo de Tejada, Saltabarranca, San Andrés Tuxtla, Santiago Tuxtla and Tlacotalpan.[7] Deputies returned to Congress
