Tamaulipas's districts in 2017–2022

The 5th federal electoral district of Tamaulipas (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 05 de Tamaulipas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Tamaulipas. ^[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 second region. ^{[2] [3]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is José Braña Mojica of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). ^{[4] [5]}

District territory

Tamaulipas lost a district in 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 reconfigured 5th district covers the south-west of the state and comprises 262 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 10 of the state's 43 municipalities: ^{[7] [8]}

• Bustamante, Casas, Güémez, Hidalgo, Jaumave, Llera, Miquihuana, Palmillas, Tula and Victoria.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Ciudad Victoria. The district reported a population of 457,961 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

Between 2017 and 2022, Tamaulipas accounted for nine single-member congressional seats. The 5th district's head town was at Ciudad Victoria and it covered 221 precincts across eight municipalities: ^{[12] [11]}

• Güémez, Hidalgo, Mainero, Padilla, San Carlos, San Nicolás, Victoria and Villagrán.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Tamaulipas had eight districts. The 5th district had the same configuration as in the 2017 scheme but covered 222 precincts. ^{[13] [14]}

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Tamaulipas lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Ciudad Victoria and it comprised 10 municipalities: ^{[15] [14]}

• Bustamante, Casas, Güémez, Hidalgo, Jaumave, Mainero, Miquihuana, Palmillas, Victoria and Villagrán.

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, Tamaulipas's seat allocation rose from six to nine. ^[9] The 5th district's head town was at Tampico and it covered the city and its surrounding municipality. ^[16]
