The 2nd federal electoral district of Puebla (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 02 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]
The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Fátima Almendra Cruz Peláez of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[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, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16.[6] The 2nd district is in Puebla's Sierra Norte region and covers 192 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 27 of the state's municipalities:[7][8]
- Ahuacatlán, Ahuazotepec, Amixtlán, Aquixtla, Atlequizayan, Camocuautla, Caxhuacan, Chignahuapan, Coatepec, Cuautempan, Hermenegildo Galeana, Huehuetla, Hueytlalpan, Huitzilan de Serdan, Ixtacamaxtitlán, Ixtepec, Olintla, San Felipe Tepatlán, Tepango, Tepetzintla, Tetela de Ocampo, Xochiapulco, Xochitlán de Vicente Suárez, Zacatlán, Zapotitlán de Méndez, Zautla and Zongozotla.
The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the Cuautilulco neighbourhood of the city of Zacatlán. The district reported a population of 396,558 in the 2020 Census and, with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 59% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.[1][a]
