14th federal electoral district of Puebla

Puebla's districts in 2017–2022

The 14th federal electoral district of Puebla (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 14 de Puebla) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 16 such districts in the state of Puebla.

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 fourth region.

Suspended in 1930, Puebla's 14th was re-established as part of the 1977 political reforms. The restored district returned its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Eduardo Castillo López of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, Puebla's congressional seat allocation rose from 15 to 16. The 14th district is in the south-west of Puebla and covers 242 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 47 of the state's municipalities:

• Acatlán, Ahuatlán, Ahuehuetitla, Albino Zertuche, Atzala, Axutla, Coatzingo, Cohetzala, Cuayuca de Andrade, Chiautla, Chietla, Chigmecatitlán, Chila, Chila de la Sal, Chinantla, Epatlán, Guadalupe, Huatlatlauca, Huehuetlán el Chico, Huehuetlán el Grande, Ixcamilpa de Guerrero, Izúcar de Matamoros, Jolalpan, La Magdalena Tlatlauquitepec, Ocoyucan, Petlalcingo, Piaxtla, San Diego la Meza Tochimiltzingo, San Jerónimo Xayacatlán, San Juan Atzompa, San Martín Totoltepec, San Miguel Ixitlán, San Pablo Anicano, San Pedro Yeloixtlahuaca, Santa Catarina Tlaltempan, Santa Inés Ahuatempan, Tecomatlán, Tehuitzingo, Teopantlán, Teotlalco, Tepeojuma, Totoltepec de Guerrero, Tulcingo, Xayacatlán de Bravo, Xicotlán, Xochiltepec and Zacapala.

The head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Izúcar de Matamoros. The district reported a population of 402,337 in the 2020 Census.

2017–2022

From 2017 to 2022, when Puebla was assigned 15 congressional seats, the district's head town was at Acatlán de Osorio in the south of the state and it covered 51 municipalities.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 plan, the district was one of 16 in Puebla. Its head town was at Izúcar de Matamoros and it covered 31 municipalities.

1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2005, Puebla had 15 districts. The 14th covered 27 municipalities, with its head town at Izúcar de Matamoros.

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, Puebla's seat allocation rose from 10 to 14. The 14th district's head town was at Tepeaca in the central part of the state and it comprised 27 municipalities.
