Fourteenth federal electoral district of Veracruz

Federal electoral districts of Veracruz since 2022

Veracruz under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The fourteenth federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 14 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz. ^{[lower-alpha 1]}

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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 third region. ^{[2] [3]}

District territory

Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections. ^[4] The reconfigured 14th district covers nine municipalities in the Olmeca region in the south-east of the state:

• Hidalgotitlán, Jáltipan, Jesús Carranza, Las Choapas, Minatitlán, Oluta, Oteapan, Texistepec and Uxpanapa. ^[5]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Minatitlán. ^[6]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 14th district comprised seven municipalities in the same region: Las Choapas, Hidalgotitlán, Jesús Carranza, Minatitlán, San Juan Evangelista, Sayula and Uxpanapa. Its head town was the city of Minatitlán. ^[7]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process. ^[1] Between 2005 and 2017 the 14th district had its head town at Minatitlán and it comprised seven municipalities: Las Choapas, Hidalgotitlán, Ixhuatlán del Sureste, Jesús Carranza, Minatitlán, Moloacán and Uxpanapa. ^{[8] [9]}

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Boca del Río in the Sotavento region. ^{[10] [9]}

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, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23. ^[11] The 14th district had its head town at Minatitlán and it covered the municipalities of Minatitlán and Las Choapas. ^[12]
