The fifth federal electoral district of Chiapas (Distrito electoral federal 05 de Chiapas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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


Under the 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections,
Chiapas's fifth district covers five municipalities in the central region of the state:

Chamula, San Cristóbal de las Casas, San Juan Cancuc, Tenejapa and Zinacantán.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas.
With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 69% of its population, it is officially classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.




Previous districting schemes

Between 2017 and 2022, in addition to the five it comprises in the 2022 plan, the district also covered the municipality of San Lucas. The head town was at San Cristóbal de Las Casas.

2005–2017
In 2005–2017, the fifth district was located in the Chiapas Highlands north-western portion of the state and covered the municipalities of
Amatenango del Valle, Chamula, Huixtán, Mitontic, San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Tenejapa, Teopisca and Zinacantán. The head town was at San Cristóbal de Las Casas.

1996–2005
Between 1996 and 2005, the fifth district had a slightly different configuration. It covered the following municipalities:

Chamula, Huixtan, Mitontic, San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Tenejapa and Zinacantán, which remained part of the 2005–2017 composition, plus:

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, Chiapas's seat allocation rose from six to nine. The fifth district had its head town at Tapachula and it covered eight municipalities.
