Sinaloa's 2nd district since 1996

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 first region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Ana Elizabeth Ayala Leyva [es] of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]

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,[6] the second district is located in the north-west of the state and comprises the 482 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) that make up the municipality of Ahome.[7]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Los Mochis, the municipal seat of Ahome. The district reported a population of 462,209 in the 2020 Census.[1]

1996–2022

Under the 1996, 2005 and 2017 districting plans, the 2nd district had the same configuration as under the 2023 scheme, covering the municipality of Ahome.[10][11][9][12][13]

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, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine.[8] The 2nd district comprised the municipality of Guasave.[14]
