The 3rd federal electoral district of Sinaloa (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 03 de Sinaloa) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of seven such districts in the state of Sinaloa. ^[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, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Jesús Fernando García Hernández of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). ^{[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 third district is located in the north-central region of the state and covers 773 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across six municipalities: ^[7]

• Angostura, Badiraguato, Mocorito, Navolato, Salvador Alvarado and Sinaloa.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Guamúchil, the municipal seat of Salvador Alvarado. The district reported a population of 415,710 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]
