The 5th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 05 de Nuevo León) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 14 such districts in the state of Nuevo León.[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 second region.[2][3]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Santiago González Soto of the Labour Party (PT).[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] Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation rose from 12 to 14. The fifth district is in the centre of the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers 151 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-west of the municipality of Monterrey.[7][a]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Monterrey. The district reported a population of 382,898 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Under that plan, Nuevo León's seat allocation rose from 7 to 11.[8] The 5th district had its head town at Linares and it comprised the municipalities of Aramberri, Doctor Arroyo, Galeana, General Terán, General Zaragoza, Hualahuises, Iturbide, Linares and Mier y Noriega.[15]
