10th federal electoral district of Guerrero
Defunct federal electoral district of Mexico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 10th federal electoral district of Guerrero (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 10 de Guerrero) was a federal electoral district of the Mexican state of Guerrero from 1977 to 2006. An earlier 10th district was abolished in 1930.[a]
During its existence, the 10th district returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each of the 51st to 59th sessions of Congress. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.[4][5]
Created as part of the 1977 political reforms,[6] it was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms. It was dissolved by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in its 2005 redistricting process because the state's population no longer warranted ten districts.[7]

- In its final form, the 10th district covered the urban core of the municipality of Acapulco. The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied, was the port city of Acapulco. The remainder of the municipality was assigned to the 9th district.[11][12]
1978â1996
- 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, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten.[13] The newly created 10th district had its head town at Chilapa de Ãlvarez in the state's Mountain region and it comprised the municipalities of Ahuacuotzingo, Atenango del RÃo, Copalillo, Cualac, Chilapa, Huamuxtitlán, Huitzuco, Mártir de Cuilapán, Olinalá, Xochihuehuetlán and Zitlala.[14]

Notes
- An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[1][2] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[3]
