Morelos under the 2017–2022 districting plan

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

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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 fourth region. ^{[2] [3]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Sandra Anaya Villegas  [ 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 the 205 precincts (secciones electorales) that make up the main part of the municipality of Cuernavaca in the north-west of the state. ^{[7] [8] [a]}

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Cuernavaca. The district reported a population of 376,292 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

Under the 2005 plan, which gave Morelos its fifth congressional seat, the district covered 203 of the 205 precincts in the municipality of Cuernavaca, with the remaining two (in the exclave) assigned to the 2nd district. ^{[14] [15]}

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, Morelos's seat allocation rose from two to four. ^[10] The 1st district covered the municipality of Cuernavaca. ^[17]
