The 1st federal electoral district of Oaxaca (Distrito electoral federal 01 de Oaxaca) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 10 such districts in the state of Oaxaca.[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]
With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 62% of its population, it is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.[7][b]
Previous districting schemes
2017–2022
Oaxaca's 11th district was dissolved in the 2017 redistricting process. Under the 2017 to 2022 scheme, the 1st district had its head town at San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec and it covered 11 municipalities.[8]
2005–2017
In 2005–2017, the district's head town was at San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec and it comprised 11 municipalities.[9][10]
1996–2005
Between 1996 and 2017, Oaxaca's seat allocation was increased to 11. Under the 1996 districting plan, the head town was moved to San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec.[11][10]
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, Oaxaca's seat allocation rose from nine to ten.[12] The 1st district had its head town at Juchitán de Zaragoza on the Pacific coast of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.[13]
