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 3rd district comprises 268 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 13 municipalities in the central-eastern portion of the state:[7][8]
- Abasolo, Allende, Candela, Castaños, Escobedo, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Juárez, Monclova, Progreso, Sabinas, San Juan de Sabinas and Villa Unión.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Monclova. The district reported a population of 417,078 in the 2020 Census.[1]
