Second Federal Electoral District of Quintana Roo
The Second Federal Electoral District of Quintana Roo (II Distrito Electoral Federal de Quintana Roo) is one of the 300 Electoral Districts into which Mexico is divided for the purpose of elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of three such districts in the state of Quintana Roo.
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.
District territory[edit]
Under the 2005 districting scheme, Quintana Roo's Second District covers the municipalities of Othón P. Blanco, Felipe Carrillo Puerto and José María Morelos.[1]
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Chetumal.
Previous districting schemes[edit]
1996–2005 district[edit]
Between 1996 and 2005, the Second District had exactly the same territory as at present.[2]
Prior to 1975[edit]
Quintana Roo was admitted to the union on 8 October 1975. Prior to that, as a federal territory, it was allowed only one seat in the Chamber of Deputies (for the First District). The Second District was created upon statehood in 1975, by halving the territory of the First District; it elected its first deputy, to the XLIX Legislature, in a special election.
