2017–2022 districting scheme

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 fifth region.[2][3]

The 19th district was created by the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, the State of Mexico's seat allocation rose from 15 to 34.[4] The new districts were first contended in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Gabriela Valdepeñas González 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 19th district covers 302 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the bulk of one the state's 125 municipalities in the Greater Mexico City urban area:[8][9]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Tlalnepantla. In the 2020 Census, the district reported a total population of 473,825.[1]
