8th federal electoral district of Oaxaca

Federal electoral districts of Oaxaca since 2022

Oaxaca under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The eighth federal electoral district of Oaxaca (Distrito electoral federal 08 de Oaxaca) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 10 such districts in the state of Oaxaca.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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. ^{[1] [2]}

District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, ^[3] the eighth district covers eight municipalities in the central part of the state. ^[a] The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Oaxaca de Juárez. ^{[6] [7]}

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 43% of its population, it is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district. ^{[6] [b]}

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Oaxaca's 11th district was dissolved in the 2017 redistricting process. Under the 2017 to 2022 scheme, the eighth district had its head town at the city of Oaxaca and it covered seven municipalities. ^[8]

2005–2017

Between 2005 and 2017, the eighth district's head town was at the city of Oaxaca and it comprised four municipalities. ^{[9] [10]}

1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2017, Oaxaca's seat allocation was increased to 11. Under the 1996 districting plan, the head town was moved to the city of Oaxaca. ^{[11] [10]}

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, Oaxaca's seat allocation rose from nine to ten. ^[12] The eighth district had its head town at Santiago Pinotepa Nacional in the state's Costa Chica region. ^[13]
