7th federal electoral district of Chihuahua

The 7th federal electoral district of Chihuahua is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of nine such districts in the state of Chihuahua.
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 deputies elected from the first region.
Suspended in 1930, the 7th district was re-established as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Chihuahua had only six congressional districts; with the 1977 reforms, the number increased to ten. The restored 7th district elected its first deputy in the 1979 mid-term election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Jesús Roberto Corral Ordóñez of the Labour Party.
