The 2nd federal electoral district of Aguascalientes (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 02 de Aguascalientes) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of three such districts in the state of Aguascalientes. ^[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]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Mónica Becerra Moreno  [ es ] of the National Action Party (PAN). ^{[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 2nd district covers 195 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-east of the municipality of Aguascalientes. ^{[7] [a]}

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Aguascalientes. The district reported a population of 472,112 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

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. Aguascalientes's seat allocation, however, remained unchanged at two. ^[8] The 2nd district covered the entire state except for the city of Aguascalientes. ^[15]
