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]

Contents

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  [ es ] of the National Action Party (PAN). [4] [5]

District territory

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]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 4th district was limited to a part of the municipality of Veracruz. The head town was the city of Veracruz. [12] [11]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process. [10] Between 2005 and 2017 the district had its head town at Veracruz and it covered Boca del Río and the south-eastern portion of the municipality of Veracruz. [13] [14]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Álamo in the north of the state and the district covered nine municipalities. [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, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23. [9] The 4th district had its head town at Papantla and it covered the municipalities of Coahuitlán, Coxquihui, Coyutla, Chumatlán, Espinal, Filomena Mata, Gutiérrez Zamora, Mecatlán, Papantla and Zozocolco.
