8th federal electoral district of Sinaloa

Sinaloa's 8th district in 2005–2017

The 8th federal electoral district of Sinaloa (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 08 de Sinaloa) is a defunct federal electoral district of Mexico.

During its existence it elected one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions. ^[1]

The 8th district was created as part 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, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine. ^[2] It was dissolved by the National Electoral Institute (INE) in its 2017 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted eight districts. ^[3] Accordingly, it elected its first deputy in the 1979 legislative election and its last in the 2015 legislative election.
