5th federal electoral district of Zacatecas

Zacatecas under the 1996–2005 districting plan. The 5th district is shown in red.

The 5th federal electoral district of Zacatecas (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Zacatecas) is a defunct federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Zacatecas.

During its existence, the 5th district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th Congresses. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions. ^{[1] [2]}

Suspended in 1930, ^[a] it was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election. ^[6] After electing its final deputy in the 2003 mid-terms, it was dissolved in the Federal Electoral Institute's 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted five districts. ^[7]

District territory

1996–2005

In its final form, the district comprised the municipalities of Apozol, Apulco, Atolinga, Benito Juárez, El Plateado de Joaquín Amaro, Huanusco, Jalpa, Juchipila, Mezquital del Oro, Momax, Monte Escobedo, Moyahua de Estrada, Nochistlán de Mejía, Susticacan, Tabasco, Tepechitlán, Tepetongo, Teúl de González Ortega, Tlaltenango de Sánchez Román, Trinidad García de la Cadena and Villanueva. Its head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied, was the city of Juchipila in the extreme south of the state. ^[8]

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, Zacatecas's district allocation rose from four to five. ^[9] The restored 5th district had its head town at Guadalupe and it covered 15 municipalities. ^[10]

Notes

1. An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000"; ^{[3] [4]} as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934. ^[5]
