District territory
In its 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) assigned Coahuila an additional district.[6] The reconfigured 4th district covers 187 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-eastern, urban portion of the municipality of Saltillo.[7][8][a]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Saltillo. The district reported a population of 443,238 in the 2020 Census.[1]
