The 8th federal electoral district of Tamaulipas (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 08 de Tamaulipas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Tamaulipas. [1]

Contents

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 8th district was created as part of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the state's seat allocation from six to nine. The three new districts returned their first deputies in the 1979 mid-term election. [4] [5]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Jesús Antonio Nader Nasrallah of the National Action Party (PAN). [6] [7]

District territory

Tamaulipas lost a district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections. [8] The reconfigured 8th district is in the state's extreme south-east and comprises the 300 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) that make up two of the state's 43 municipalities: [9] [10]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Tampico. The district reported a population of 503,518 in the 2020 Census. [1]

Under the 2005 plan, Tamaulipas had eight districts. This district's head town was at Tampico and it covered the whole of the municipality of Tampico plus 13 precincts in the west of Ciudad Madero. [13] [14]

In the 1996 scheme, under which Tamaulipas lost a single-member seat, the district had its head town at Tampico and it covered the city and its municipality. [15] [14]

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, Tamaulipas's seat allocation rose from six to nine. [4] The new 8th district's head town was at San Fernando and it covered 17 municipalities: [16]
