The 12th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 12 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 12th district was created by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) its 2005 redistricting process and was first contested in the 2006 general election.[4] The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Héctor Alfonso de la Garza Villarreal of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).[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 12th district is in the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers the 172 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) that make up the municipality of Júarez.[8]

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ciudad Benito Juárez. The district reported a population of 470,587 in the 2020 Census.[1]
