Jalisco's districts in 2017–2022

The 4th federal electoral district of Jalisco (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 04 de Jalisco) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 20 such districts in the state of Jalisco. ^[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 Raúl Álvarez Villaseñor. ^{[4] [5]} Originally elected for the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), he switched allegiance to the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) at the start of the congressional session. ^[6]

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, ^[7] Jalisco's 4th district is located in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area and comprises 144 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the municipality of Zapopan. ^{[8] [a]}

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Zapopan. The district reported a population of 441,436 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

2017–2022

Jalisco regained its 20th congressional seat in the 2017 redistricting process. The 4th district covered 119 precincts in the municipality of Zapopan. ^{[12] [11]}

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Jalisco had 19 districts. The 4th district comprised 107 precincts in the municipality of Zapopan. ^{[13] [14]}

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Jalisco lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Zapopan and it covered a part of that municipality, together with the municipalities of Cuquío, Ixtlahuacán del Río and San Cristóbal de la Barranca. ^{[15] [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, Jalisco's seat allocation rose from 13 to 20. ^[9] The 4th district covered a part of the sector Reforma in the state capital, Guadalajara. ^[16]
