5th federal electoral district of Durango

The 5th federal electoral district of Durango (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 05 de Durango) was a federal electoral district of Mexico. During its most recent existence, from 1977 to 2006, it returned one deputy to the Chamber of Deputies for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also counted towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the country's electoral regions.[1][2]

Suspended in 1930,[a] Durango's 5th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under the reforms, Durango's seat allocation rose from four to six.[6] It was dissolved by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in 2005, when the state's population no longer warranted five districts.[7] The re-established 5th district was therefore first contested in the 1979 mid-term election and elected its last deputy in the 2003 mid-terms.

Between its restoration and its dissolution, the 5th district comprised the southern half of the municipality of Durango, including a part of the state capital, Victoria de Durango. The city also served as its head town (Spanish: cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations were gathered together and tallied.[12][13]

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";[3][4] as a result, the size of the Chamber of Deputies fell from 281 in the 1928 election to 171 in 1934.[5]
  2. ^ González Yáñez resigned his seat in March 1998 to contend (unsuccessfully) for the governorship of Durango. He was replaced by his substitute, Pedro Cortés.[23]
