The fourth federal electoral district of Querétaro (Distrito electoral federal 04 de Querétaro) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of six such districts in the state of Querétaro.[1]
It returns 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; since 2024, those elected from the fifth region.[2][3]
District territory
Under the 2022 districting plan, which assigned Querétaro an additional seat in Congress and is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4]
the fourth district covers a portion of the municipality of Querétaro and the municipality of Corregidora.
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Santiago de Querétaro.[5]
Previous districting scheme
Between 2017 and 2022, when the state contained only five federal electoral districts, the fourth district covered a portion of the municipality of Querétaro.[6]
