5th district in 2005–2017

The 5th federal electoral district of 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.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Emilio Ramón Ramírez Guzmán 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, Chiapas's 5th district covers 138 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across five municipalities in the central region of the state:

  • Chamula, San Cristóbal de Las Casas (part), San Juan Cancuc, Tenejapa and Zinacantán.

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Cristóbal de Las Casas. The district reported a population of 447,249 in the 2020 Census; with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 69% of its population, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.

2005–2017 :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 5th 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 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: :*Chalchihuitán, Chenalhó, Larráinzar and Pantelhó.

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 5th district had its head town at Tapachula and it covered eight municipalities.
