1st federal electoral district of Veracruz

The 1st federal electoral district of Veracruz is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 19 such districts in the state of Veracruz.
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 third region.
The current member for the district is Denisse Guzmán González of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico. She replaced María del Carmen Pinete Vargas, who was elected in the 2024 general election but died in office on 1 April 2025.

District territory

Veracruz lost a congressional district in the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 elections.
The reconfigured 1st district covers 355 electoral precincts across 15 municipalities in the Huasteca Alta region in the extreme north of the state:

Chalma, Chiconamel, Chontla, Citlaltépetl, El Higo, Ixcatepec, Ozuluama, Platón Sánchez, Pueblo Viejo, Pánuco, Tamalín, Tampico Alto, Tantima, Tantoyuca and Tempoal.

The head town, where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Pánuco. The district reported a population of 441,087 in the 2020 Census and, with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 40% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.

Previous districting schemes

Because of shifting demographics, Veracruz currently has four fewer districts than the 23 the state was allocated under the 1977 electoral reforms.
