11th federal electoral district of Veracruz

Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.^[6] The reconfigured 11th district comprises 285 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across five municipalities in the Olmeca region in the south-east corner of the state:^[7][8]

• Agua Dulce, Coatzacoalcos, Ixhuatlán, Moloacán and Nanchital.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the port city of Coatzacoalcos. The district reported a population of 416,647 in the 2020 Census.^[1]

Because of shifting demographics, Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms.^[10]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The 11th district still had its head town at Coatzacoalcos but comprised only four of the five 2022–2030 municipalities: Nanchital was assigned to the 20th district.^[12][11]

2005–2017

Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process.^[10] Between 2005 and 2017 the 11th district had its head town at Coatzacoalcos and it comprised the municipalities of Coatzacoalcos, Nanchital and Agua Dulce.^[13][14]

1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Coatepec in the state's central mountain region and the district covered 10 municipalities.^[15][14]

1978–1996

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, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23.^[9] The 11th district had its head town at Veracruz and it covered a part of that city.^[16]
