Puebla's districts in 2017–2022

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 fourth region.[2][3]

Suspended in 1930,[a] Puebla's 14th was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.[7]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Eduardo Castillo López of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[8][9]

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, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16.[10] The 14th district is in the south-west of Puebla and covers 242 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 47 of the state's municipalities:[11][12]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Izúcar de Matamoros. The district reported a population of 402,337 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Notes

  1. 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";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
