The 8th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 08 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 8th district was created by the 1977 electoral reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.[4] The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Adriana Quiroz Gallegos of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[5][6]

District territory

In its 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) increased Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation from 12 to 14.[7] The 8th district is in the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers parts of two municipalities:[8]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Guadalupe. The district reported a population of 433,556 in the 2020 Census.[1]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the district's head town was at Guadalupe. As in the 2022 plan, it covered parts of Guadalupe (70 precincts) and Apodaca (93 precincts).[10][11]

2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting plan, the district covered 157 precincts in the north of the municipality of Guadalupe, with the remainder of the municipality assigned to the 11th district.[12][13]

1996–2005

From 1996 to 2005, the district comprised 135 precincts in the north of the municipality of Guadalupe, with the remainder of the municipality assigned to the 11th district.[14][13]

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Nuevo León's seat allocation rose from 7 to 11.[4] The newly created 8th district's head town was the state capital, Monterrey, and it covered a part of that city.[15]
