The 2nd federal electoral district of Durango (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 02 de Durango) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of four such districts in the state of Durango.[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 first region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Betzabé Martínez Arango. Originally elected for the Labour Party (PT), she switched allegiance to the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) on 19 September 2024.[4]

District territory

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,[5] the 2nd district covers 335 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 10 municipalities in the north of the state:[6][7]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Gómez Palacio. The district reported a population of 454,368 in the 2020 Census.[1]
