Jalisco's districts in 2017–2022

The 7th federal electoral district of Jalisco (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 07 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 Claudia García Hernández of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). ^{[4] [5]}

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, ^[6] Jalisco's 7th district is located in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area and comprises 69 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the northern portion of the municipality of Tonalá. ^{[7] [a]}

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Tonalá. The district reported a population of 399,701 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]

2017–2022

Jalisco regained its 20th congressional seat in the 2017 redistricting process. The 7th district's head town was at Tonalá and it covered 68 precincts in that municipality. ^{[11] [10]}

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, Jalisco had 19 districts. This district's head town was at Tonalá and it covered the whole of that municipality (81 precincts). ^{[12] [13]}

1996–2005

In the 1996 scheme, under which Jalisco lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Tonalá and it covered the whole of that municipality, together with Juanacatlán, El Salto and Zapotlanejo. ^{[14] [13]}

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. ^[8] The 7th district's head town was at Yahualica de González Gallo and it covered 11 municipalities in the east of the state: ^[15]
