5th federal electoral district of Chiapas
Template:Short descriptionScript error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox Mexican federal electoral district
The 5th federal electoral district of Chiapas (Template:Langx) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.[1]
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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 third region.[2][3]
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Emilio Ramón Ramírez Guzmán of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4][5]
District territory
Under the 2022 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,[6] Chiapas's 5th district covers 138 electoral precincts (Script error: No such module "Lang".) across five municipalities in the central region of the state:[7][8]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas. The district reported a population of 447,249 in the 2020 Census;[1] with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 69% of its population, it is classified by the National Electoral Institute as an indigenous district.[7]Template:Efn
