Twenty-sixth federal electoral district of the Federal District explained

The twenty-sixth federal electoral district of the Federal District (Distrito electoral federal 26 del Distrito Federal) is a defunct federal electoral district of Mexico. Occupying a portion of what is today Mexico City, it was in existence from 1973 to 2018.

During that time, it returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system, electing its first in the 1973 mid-term election and its last in the 2015 mid-terms. From 1979 onwards, votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.[1] [2]

The 25th, 26th and 27th districts were abolished in the 2017 redistricting process because the capital's population no longer warranted that number of seats in Congress.[3]

District territory

2005–2017In its final form, when the capital accounted for 27 districts, the 26th was located in the south-west of the city. It covered the whole of the borough of Magdalena Contreras and the adjacent north-east portion of the borough of Álvaro Obregón.[4] [5] [6]
1996–2005Under the 1996 scheme, the capital comprised 30 districts. The 26th comprised the borough of Magdalena Contreras and the adjacent south-west portion of Álvaro Obregón.[5] [7]
1978–2005The 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, the Federal District's seat allocation rose from 27 to 40.[8] The 26th district covered a part of the borough of Iztapalapa in the east of the city.[9]
