Federal electoral district of Mexico
Federal electoral districts of the State of Mexico since 2022
The 26th federal electoral district of the State of Mexico (Spanish : Distrito electoral federal 26 del Estado de México ) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 40 such districts in the State of Mexico .[ 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 fifth region .[ 2] [ 3]
The 26th district was created by the 1977 electoral reforms , which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, the State of Mexico's seat allocation rose from 15 to 34.[ 4] The new districts were first contended in the 1979 mid-term election .
