Nayarit's 18 local electoral districts were determined by the National Electoral Institute (INE) in its 2021–2023 redistricting plan, which is to remain in force until 2030.[3]
In two of the SMDs – the 1st (Acaponeta) and 3rd (Jesús María) – Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants account for over 40% of the total population and they are therefore classified by the INE as indigenous districts.[3]

Creation
The state of Nayarit was created in 1917 from the Territory of Tepic with the enactment that year of the national constitution. On 22 September 1917, the interim governor, Jesús María Ferreira[es], issued a decree calling for the election of a constituent congress and a governor for the state.[4] The first session of the Congress of Nayarit was installed on 25 December, and promulgated the state constitution on 5 February 1918, on the first anniversary of the 1917 federal constitution.[5]
Local elections were held in Nayarit on 2 June 2024, concurrently with the general election. In addition to the members of the state congress, voters also elected new authorites for the state's 20 municipalities.[6]
