The eighth federal electoral district of Veracruz (Distrito electoral federal 08 de Veracruz) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.
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 third region.
District territory
Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2022 redistricting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.
The reconfigured eighth district covers 22 municipalities to the east of the state capital, Xalapa:
Acatlán, Actopan, Alto Lucero de Gutiérrez Barrios, Apazapan, Chiconquiaco, Colipa, Emiliano Zapata, Jalcomulco, Juchique de Ferrer, La Antigua, Landero y Coss, Miahuatlán, Naolinco, Paso de Ovejas, Puente Nacional, Tenampa, Tlaltetela, Tonayán, Totutla, Vega de Alatorre, Yecuatla and Úrsulo Galván.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is
Las Trancas (a south-eastern suburb of Xalapa).
Previous districting schemes
2017–2022
Between 2017 and 2022, Veracruz was assigned 20 electoral districts. The eighth district comprised 22 municipalities in broadly the same region of the state: Acatlán, Actopan, Alto Lucero de Gutierrez Barrios, Apazapan, Chiconquiaco, Emiliano Zapata, Jalcomulco, Juchique de Ferrer, La Antigua, Landero y Coss, Miahuatlán, Naolinco, Puente Nacional, Tenampa, Tepetlán, Tlacotepec de Mejía, Tlaltetela, Tonayán, Totutla, Úrsulo Galván, Xalapa (partial, split with the 10th district) and Yecuatla. Its head town was at Xalapa.
2005–2017
Veracruz's allocation of congressional seats fell to 21 in the 2005 redistricting process. Between 2005 and 2017 the district had its head town at Xalapa. It covered 33 precincts (secciones electorales) in the municipality of Xalapa and 18 other municipalities in their entirety:
Acatlán, Actopan, Alto Lucero de Gutiérrez Barrios, Apazapan, Banderilla, Colipa, Chiconquiaco, Emiliano Zapata, Jalcomulco, Jilotepec, Juchique de Ferrer, Miahuatlán, Naolinco, Tepetlán, Tonayán, Úrsulo Galván, Vega de Alatorre and Yecuatla.
1996–2005
Under the 1996 districting plan, which allocated Veracruz 23 districts, the head town was at Misantla.
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, Veracruz's seat allocation rose from 15 to 23. The eighth district had its head town at Huatusco and it covered the municipalities of Camarón de Tejeda, Alpatláhuac, Axocuapan, Ayahualulco, Calcahualco, Carrillo Puerto, Comapan, Cosautlán, Coscomatepec, Cotaxtla, Chocamán, Huatusco, Ixhuacán, Ixhuatlán, Paso del Macho, Sochiapa, Soledad de Doblado, Tenampa, Teocelo, Tepatlaxco, Tlacotepec, Tomatlán, Totutla and Zentla.
