Morelos under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The 3rd federal electoral district of Morelos (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 03 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] [4]}

Suspended in 1930, ^[a] the 3rd district was re-established by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under those reforms, Morelos's seat allocation rose from two to four. ^[8] The two new districts were first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Cindy Winkler Trujillo of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). ^{[9] [10]}

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, ^[11] the 3rd district comprises 195 precincts (secciones electorales) across seven municipalities in the south-east of the state: ^[12]

• Axochiapan, Ayala, Cuautla, Tepalcingo, Jantetelco, Jonacatepec and Temoac.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Cuautla. The district reported a population of 396,172 in the 2020 Census. ^{[13] [1]}

Notes

1. An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000"; ^{[5] [6]} as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934. ^[7]
