The 8th federal electoral district of Guanajuato (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 08 de Guanajuato) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 15 such districts in the state of Guanajuato. [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 Ernesto Alejandro Prieto Gallardo of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). [4] [5]
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] the 8th district covers central Guanajuato and comprises 220 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across three of the state's 46 municipalities: [7]
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Salamanca. The district reported a population of 422,317 in the 2020 Census. [1]
