Nuevo León's districts in 2017–2022

The 7th federal electoral district of Nuevo León (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 07 de Nuevo León) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 14 such districts in the state of Nuevo León.

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 second region.

The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Carlos Alberto Guevara Garza of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).

In its 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the National Electoral Institute (INE) increased Nuevo León's congressional seat allocation from 12 to 14. The reconfigured 7th district is in the Monterrey metropolitan area and covers the 136 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) that make up the municipality of García, Nuevo León.

The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is in the Valle de Lincoln neighbourhood of the municipality. The district reported a population of 397,071 in the 2020 Census.

2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the district's head town was at García and it covered that municipality and a further 16 municipalities to the north of the state: Abasolo, Agualeguas, Anáhuac, Bustamante, Carmen, Ciénega de Flores, García, General Zuazua, Hidalgo, Higueras, Lampazos de Naranjo, Mina, Parás, Sabinas Hidalgo, Salinas Victoria, Vallecillo and Villaldama.

2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting plan, the district covered 316 precincts in the municipality of Monterrey, with the remainder of the municipality assigned to the 5th, 6th and 10th districts.

1996–2005

From 1996 to 2005, the district comprised 291 precincts in the centre of the municipality of Monterrey, with the remainder of the municipality assigned to the 5th, 6th and 10th districts.

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, Nuevo León's seat allocation rose from 7 to 11. The 7th district had its head town at Garza García and it comprised the municipalities of Garza García and García and part of the city of Monterrey.
