The 15th federal electoral district of Puebla (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 15 de Puebla) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 16 such districts in the state of Puebla.[1]

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 fourth region.[2][3]

Suspended in 1930,[a] Puebla's 15th district was re-established by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in 1996. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1997 mid-term election[7]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is María del Rosario Orozco Caballero of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[8][9]

District territory

[edit]

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, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16.[10] The 15th district is in Puebla's south-east and covers 119 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across six of the state's municipalities:[11][12]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Tehuacán. The district reported a population of 415,593 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[4][5] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[6]
  2. ^ Originally elected for Morena, Barroso Chávez switched to the Labour Party on 11 August 2020.
  3. ^ Celestino Rosas resigned her seat on 21 February 2024 and was replaced for the remainder of her term by her alternate, Serrano Romero.
