Querétaro under the 2017–2022 districting plan

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; since 2024, those elected from the fifth region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Ricardo Astudillo Suárez of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[4][5]

District territory

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which assigned Querétaro an additional seat in Congress and is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] the 2nd district covers 145 precincts (secciones electorales) across two of the state's 18 municipalities:[7][8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Juan del Río. The district reported a population of 364,463 in the 2020 census.[1]
