The 15th federal electoral district of Guanajuato (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 15 de Guanajuato) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 15 such districts in the state of Guanajuato. [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 second region. [2] [3]

Suspended in 1930, [a] Guanajuato's 15th was re-established by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 1996 redistricting process. It was then placed in abeyance again between 2005 and 2017 but was restored for the 2018 general election. [7] [8]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is José Javier Aguirre Gallardo of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). [9] [10]

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, [11] the 15th district is located in the centre of Guanajuato and covers 172 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the south of the municipality of Irapuato. [12]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Irapuato. The district reported a population of 397,300 in the 2020 Census. [1]

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]
  2. ↑ The remainder of the municipality (70 precincts) was assigned to the 9th district.
