Baja California Sur under the 2017–2022 districting plan

The 1st federal electoral district of Baja California Sur () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of two such districts in the state of Baja California Sur.

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 first region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Manuel Alejandro Cota Cárdenas of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).

District territory

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, the first district covers 355 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across the municipalities of Comondú, Loreto, Mulegé, and La Paz: i.e., the entire state except for Los Cabos at the southern tip of the peninsula.

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of La Paz. The district reported a population of 447,347 in the 2020 Census.

Sources:

2017–2022 :The state's three northern municipalities (Comondú, Loreto and Mulegé), plus the northern portion of La Paz. The head town was La Paz.

2005–2017 :The state's three northern municipalities and the westernmost two-thirds of the La Paz. The district's head town was the city of Santa Rosalía.

1996–2005 :The state's three northern municipalities only, with the head town at Santa Rosalía.

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. Baja California Sur's seat allocation, however, remained unchanged at two.

Pre-1974 :Before Baja California Sur acquired statehood in 1974 and was still a federal territory, it was entitled to return only one deputy to Congress; the district known as the sole district of the Southern Territory of Baja California (Distrito único del Territorio Sur de Baja California) therefore covered the whole of modern-day Baja California Sur. The state's first district is considered the successor of the territory's sole district.
