The 1st federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 01 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 Homero Niño de Rivera Vela 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] Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation rose from 12 to 14. The first district is in the western part of the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers 164 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across two of the state's municipalities:[7]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Santa Catarina. The district reported a population of 439,175 in the 2020 Census.[1]

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, as in the 2023 plan, the district covered Santa Catarina and San Pedro Garza García and had its head town at Santa Catarina.[10][11]

2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting plan, the district had the same configuration as in the 2017 and 2023 schemes.[12][13]

1996–2005

From 1996 to 2005, the district's head town was at Santa Catarina but it covered a larger area in the north-west of the state, comprising seven municipalities: Anáhuac, Bustamante, García, San Pedro Garza García, Lampazos de Naranjo, Mina and Santa Catarina.[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.[8] The first district's head town was the state capital, Monterrey, and it covered a portion of that city.[15]
