The 10th federal electoral district of Chiapas (Distrito electoral federal 10 de Chiapas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas. ^[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 third region. ^{[2] [3]}

The 10th district of Chiapas was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, Chiapas only had nine federal electoral districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12. ^[4] The 10th district elected its first deputy, to the 57th Congress, in the 1997 mid-terms.

District territory

Under the 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, ^[5] the 10th district covers nine municipalities:

• Ángel Albino Corzo, Berriozábal, El Parral, La Concordia, Montecristo de Guerrero, Capitán Luis Ángel Vidal, Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, Villa Corzo and Villaflores. ^[6]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Villaflores. ^[1]
