Durango under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The 1st federal electoral district of Durango (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 01 de Durango) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of four such districts in the state of Durango. ^[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]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Martha Olivia García Vidaña  [ es ] of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). ^{[4] [5]}

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, ^[6] the 1st district covers 395 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 11 municipalities in the west and south of the state: ^{[7] [8]}

• Durango (106 precincts in the municipality's rural west), ^[a] Canelas, Guanaceví, Mezquital, Otáez, Pueblo Nuevo, San Dimas, Santiago Papasquiaro, Tamazula, Tepehuanes and Topia.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Victoria de Durango. The district reported a population of 459,351 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the 1st district's head town was at Victoria de Durango and it covered 12 municipalities: ^{[12] [11]}

• Durango (100 precincts in the west), Canelas, Mezquital, Otáez, Pueblo Nuevo, San Dimas, Santiago Papasquiaro, Tamazula, Tepehuanes and Topia, as in the 2023 plan, but with Súchil and Vicente Guerrero replacing Guanaceví.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Durango's single-member district count fell from five to four. This district's head town was at Victoria de Durango and it covered 12 municipalities: ^{[13] [14]}

• Durango (92 precincts in the west), Canelas, Guanaceví, Mezquital, Otáez, Pueblo Nuevo, San Dimas, Santiago Papasquiaro, Súchil, Tamazula, Tepehuanes and Topia.

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, Durango's seats were reduced from six to five. The 1st district had its head town at Santiago Papasquiaro and it comprised 14 municipalities in the north and west of the state: ^{[15] [14]}

• Canatlán, Canelas, Guanaceví, Indé, Nuevo Ideal, Ocampo, El Oro, Otáez, San Bernardo, San Dimas, Santiago Papasquiaro, Tamazula, Tepehuanes and Topia.

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, Durango's seat allocation rose from four to six. ^[9] The reconfigured 1st district's head town was at Victoria de Durango and it covered a part of that city. ^[16]
