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 electoral region.[2][3][a]
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,[7] the district covers 413 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the north-western portion of the state. Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ixmiquilpan.[1] In addition to Ixmiquilpan, it covers another 17 adjacent municipalities:[8]
The district reported a population of 461,000 in the 2020 Census, and with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 60% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.[8][b]
Between 2017 and 2022, the district comprised Ixmiquilpan (the head town) and another 15 municipalities:[12][13]
Alfajayucan, Cardonal, Chapulhuacán, Chilcuautla, Jacala de Ledezma, La Misión, Nicolás Flores, Pacula, Pisaflores, Progreso de Obregón, San Salvador, Santiago de Anaya, Tasquillo, Tecozautla and Zimapán.
In other words, the 2023 configuration without Mixquiahuala and Tlahuiltepa.
2005–2017
Under the districting scheme in force from 2005 to 2017, the district covered Ixmiquilpan and another 14 municipalities. The configuration was almost the same as in the 2017–2022 plan: the only change was that Progreso de Obregón was assigned to the 3rd district.[14][15]
1996–2005
The 1996 redistricting process created Hidalgo's 7th district. Between 1996 and 2005, the second district comprised Ixmiquilpan and 13 other municipalities:[16][15]
Alfajayucan, Cardonal, Chapulhuacán, Chilcuautla, Huichapan, Ixmiquilpan, Jacala de Ledezma, La Misión, Nicolás Flores, Pacula, Pisaflores, Tasquillo, Tecozautla and Zimapán.
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, Hidalgo's seat allocation rose from five to six.[9] The 2nd district was in the east of the state, with its head town at Tulancingo, and it comprised 13 municipalities:[17]
Acatlán, Acaxochitlán, Agua Blanca, Almoloya, Apan, Cuautepec, Huehuetla, Metepec, San Bartolo Tutotepec, Santiago Tulantepec, Singuilucan, Tenango de Doria and Tulancingo.
↑ Between 2005 and 2023, Hidalgo was assigned to the fifth region.[4]
↑ The INE deems any local or federal electoral district where Indigenous or Afrodescendent inhabitants number 40% or more of the total population to be an indigenous district.[1]
↑ Charrez Pedraza was impeached and removed from office on 24 April 2019.[28]
