The 5th federal electoral district of Puebla (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 05 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, elected in the 2024 general election, is Rafaela Vianey García Romero of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[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, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16.[6] The 5th district is in the north-west of the state, wedged between the states of Mexico and Tlaxcala. It covers 142 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 11 of the state's municipalities:[7][8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Martin Texmelucan de Labastida. The district reported a population of 417,480 in the 2020 Census.[1]

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, Puebla's seat allocation rose from 10 to 14.[9] The 5th district's head town was at Acatlán in the south of the state and it covered 33 municipalities .[16]
