Puebla's districts in 2017–2022

The 8th federal electoral district of Puebla (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 08 de Puebla) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 16 such districts in the state of Puebla. ^[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 fourth region. ^{[2] [3]}

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Carlos Ignacio Mier Bañuelos 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, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16. ^[6] The 8th district is situated in the east of Puebla and covers 138 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 12 of the state's municipalities: ^{[7] [8]}

• Acatzingo, Aljojuca, Atzitzintla, Chalchicomula de Sesma, Esperanza, General Felipe Ángeles, Palmar de Bravo, Quecholac, San Juan Atenco, San Salvador Huixcolotla, Tecamachalco and Yehualtepec.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is Ciudad Serdán, the municipal seat of Chalchicomula. The district reported a population of 403,021 in the 2020 Census. ^[1]
