9th federal electoral district of Sinaloa

The 9th federal electoral district of Sinaloa (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 09 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 9th 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 Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 1996 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted nine districts. ^[3] Accordingly, it elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election and its last in the 1994 general election.
