11th federal electoral district of Oaxaca

Defunct federal electoral district of Mexico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 11th federal electoral district of Oaxaca (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 11 de Oaxaca) was a Mexican federal electoral district from 1997 to 2018. During its existence, it returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative period by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.[1][2]

Oaxaca's 11th district was created by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) as part of its 1996 redistricting process, which assigned the state an additional district to the ten it already had.[3][4] In the 2017 redistricting process, Oaxaca's seat allocation was again reduced to ten.[5] The 11th district was thus first contested in the 1997 mid-term election and it elected its final deputy in the 2015 mid-terms.

Throughout its existence, the 11th district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied, was the city of Pinotepa Nacional.[3] Located in the state's Costa Chica region, it covered 40 municipalities under the 2005 districting plan[9][10] and 38 under the 1996 plan.[11][10]
