Tabasco's districts in 2017–2022

The 2nd federal electoral district of Tabasco (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 02 de Tabasco) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Tabasco. ^[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 third region. ^{[2] [3]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Iván Peña Vidal of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). ^{[4] [5]}

District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, ^[6] Tabasco's 2nd district is in the west and covers 219 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across two of the state's municipalities: ^[7]

• Cárdenas and Huimanguillo.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Heroica Cárdenas. The district reported a population of 433,301 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

2017–2022

From 2017 to 2022, the district had the same configuration as in the 2022 scheme. ^{[11] [10]}

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, the district's head town was at Heroica Cárdenas and it covered Huimanguillo in its entirety and the bulk of Cárdenas (29 precincts in the south-east corner were assigned to the 3rd district). ^{[12] [13]}

1996–2005

Tabasco gained its 6th district in the 1996 redistricting process. The 2nd covered the municipalities of Huimanguillo and Cárdenas in their entirety, with the head town at Heroica Cárdenas. ^{[14] [13]}

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, Tabasco's seat allocation rose from three to five. ^[8] The district's head town was at Centla and it comprised the municipalities of Balancán, Centla, Emiliano Zapata, Jalpa de Méndez, Jonuta, Nacajuca and Tenosique. ^[15]
