Durango under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The 3rd federal electoral district of Durango (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 03 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 Gerardo Villarreal Solís of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). ^{[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 3rd district covers 414 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 18 municipalities in the centre and east of the state: ^{[7] [8]}

• Canatlán, Coneto de Comonfort, Cuencamé, Simón Bolívar, Guadalupe Victoria, Lerdo, Nazas, Nombre de Dios, Nuevo Ideal, Pánuco de Coronado , Peñón Blanco, Poanas, Rodeo, San Juan de Guadalupe, San Juan del Río, Santa Clara, Súchil and Vicente Guerrero.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Lerdo. The district reported a population of 457,050 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

• Canatlán, Coneto de Comonfort, Cuencamé, Simón Bolívar, Guadalupe Victoria, Lerdo, Nazas, Nombre de Dios, Nuevo Ideal, Pánuco de Coronado, Peñón Blanco, Poanas, Rodeo, San Juan de Guadalupe, San Juan del Río and Santa Clara, as in the 2023 scheme, but with San Luis del Cordero replacing Súchil and Vicente Guerrero.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Durango's single-member district count fell from five to four. This district's head town was at Guadalupe Victoria and it covered 25 municipalities in the east of the state: ^{[13] [14]}

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 3rd district covered nine municipalities: ^[16]

• Canatlán (head town), Canelas, Guanaceví, Otáez, San Bernardo, Santiago Papasquiaro, Tamazula, Tepehuanes and Topia.
