First Federal Electoral District of Baja California
The First Federal Electoral District of Baja California (I Distrito Electoral Federal de Baja California) 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 eight such districts in the state of Baja California.
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
Under the 2005 redistricting process, it is made up of the municipality of Mexicali, with the exception of its extreme northwest (where the state's Third District is located) and its extreme northeast (which corresponds to the Second District).[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 Mexicali.
