Chiapas under the 2017–2022 districting scheme
11th district in 2005–2017

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 third region.[2][3]

The 11th district was created in 1996. Between 1979 and 1996, Chiapas only had nine federal electoral districts; the 1996 redistricting process increased the number to 12.[4] The new district elected its first deputy in the 1997 mid-terms.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Rosario del Carmen Moreno Villatoro of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]

District territory

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[7] the 11th district comprises 132 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 11 municipalities:[8][9]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Las Margaritas. The district reported a population of 416,628 in the 2020 Census[1] and, with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 63% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.[8][b]
