The 2nd federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 02 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, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Andrés Cantú Ramírez of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[4][5]

District territory

Under the 2022 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 second district is in the north-eastern part of the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers 205 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north of the municipality of Apodaca.[7]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Apodaca. The district reported a population of 448,173 in the 2020 Census.[1]

1996–2005

From 1996 to 2005, the district's head town was at Apodaca but it covered a larger area in the north-east of the state, comprising 26 municipalities: Abasolo, Agualeguas, Los Aldamas, Apodaca, Cadereyta Jiménez, El Carmen, Cerralvo, Ciénega de Flores, China, Doctor Coss, Doctor González, General Bravo, General Treviño, General Zuazua, Los Herreras, Hidalgo, Higueras, Marín, Melchor Ocampo, Parás, Pesquería, Los Ramones, Sabinas Hidalgo, Salinas Victoria, Vallecillo and Villaldama.[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 2nd district's head town was the state capital, Monterrey, and it covered a portion of that city.[15]
