Durango under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The 4th federal electoral district of Durango (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 04 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]

The district elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session through the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also contribute to 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 Silvia Patricia Jiménez Delgado of the National Action Party (PAN). ^{[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 4th district covers 414 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the mostly urban portion of the municipality of Durango excluded from the 1st district. ^{[7] [8]}

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Victoria de Durango. The district reported a population of 461,881 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Durango's single-member district count fell from five to four. This district's head town was at Victoria de Durango and it covered 220 precincts in the east of the municipality. ^{[13] [14]}

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, Durango's seats were reduced from six to five. The 4th district had its head town at Victoria de Durango and it comprised seven municipalities: ^{[15] [14]}

• Durango (113 precincts in the north of the municipality, with the remainder assigned to the 5th district), Pueblo Nuevo, Mezquital, Nombre de Dios, Poanas Súchil and Vicente Guerrero.

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 4th district's head town was at Guadalupe Victoria and it covered 11 municipalities: ^[16]
