The 4th federal electoral district of Veracruz (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 04 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz. [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 third region. [2] [3]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is María Josefina Gamboa Torales of the National Action Party (PAN). [4] [5]
Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections. [6] The reconfigured 4th district covers 236 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across a portion of the municipality of Veracruz south of the central urban area of the city of Veracruz and the whole of the adjacent municipality of Boca del Río in the state's Sotavento region. [7] [8]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Boca del Río. The district reported a population of 376,084 in the 2020 Census. [1]

Because of shifting demographics, Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms. [10]
