Third federal electoral district of Michoacán explained

The third federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 03 de Michoacán) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eleven such districts in the state of Michoacán.[1]

It elects 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 elected from the fifth region.[2] [3]

District territory

Michoacán lost its 12th district in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[4] the third district covers 14 municipalities in the north-east of the state:

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Heroica Zitácuaro.[1]

Previous districting schemes

2017–2022Between 2017 and 2022, the district was located in the east of the state but shifted southwards compared to its 2022 configuration. Its head town was still at Zitácuaro and it comprised 13 municipalities:
2005–2017Under the 2005 districting plan, Michoacán lost its 13th district. The third district's head town was at Zitácuaro but it covered a different set of 13 municipalities:
1996–2005Under the 1996 districting plan, the district's head town was at Zitácuaro and it covered 13 municipalities in that region of the state:
1978–1996The 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 the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13.[10] The third district's head town was at Zacapu and it covered eight municipalities in the centre of the state:
