The 15th federal electoral district of Mexico City (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 15 de la Ciudad de México; prior to 2016, "of the Federal District") is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of the 22 currently operational districts in Mexico City.[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, elected in the 2024 general election, is Federico Döring Casar of the National Action Party (PAN).[4][5]

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,[6] the 15th district covers the 254 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) that make up the borough (alcaldía) of Benito Juárez.[7]

The district reported a population of 434,153 in the 2020 Census.[1]

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, the Federal District's seat allocation rose from 27 to 40.[8] The 15th district covered a portion of the borough of Iztacalco.[15]

Notes

  1. ^ An amendment to Article 52 of the Constitution in 1928 changed the original provision of "one deputy per 60,000 inhabitants" to "one deputy per 100,000";[16][17] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[18]
  2. ^ Sotomayor Chávez resigned from the PAN on 5 February 2015, saying that it was no longer a "viable option".[41]
