The 7th federal electoral district of Sinaloa (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 07 de Sinaloa) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of seven such districts in the state of Sinaloa.[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 first region.[2][3]

Suspended in 1930,[a] the 7th 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 that plan, Sinaloa's seat allocation rose from five to nine. The new districts were first contested in the 1979 legislative election.[7]

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Merary Villegas Sánchez of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[8][9]

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,[10] the 7th district comprises 477 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north of the municipality of Culiacán, excluding the urban core.[11][b]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, Culiacán Rosales. The district reported a population of 430,512 in the 2020 Census.[1]

1996–2017

Under both the 1996 and 2005 plans – albeit with slight adjustments to the dividing line with the 5th district – the 7th district comprised the southern part of the municipality of Culiacán. The state capital served as the head town.[15][16][12]

1978–1996

From 1978 to 1996, the re-established 7th district was located in the north of the state, covering the municipalities of Angostura, Badiraguato, Mocorito and Salvador Alvarado. The head town was in Salvador Alvarado.[17]

  2. ^ Under the 2022 plan, the remainder of Culiacán is assigned to the 5th and 6th districts.
