The 9th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 09 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 9th district was created by the 1977 electoral reforms and was first contested in the 1979 mid-term election.[4]

The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Juan Francisco Espinoza Eguía of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).[5][6]

District territory

In its 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) increased Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation from 12 to 14.[7] The reconfigured 9th district covers 274 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 13 municipalities in the south of the state:[8]

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Linares. The district reported a population of 370,547 in the 2020 Census.[1]

Under that plan, Nuevo León's seat allocation rose from 7 to 11.[4] The newly created 9th district's head town was at Guadalupe and it covered a part of that city.[15]
