10th federal electoral district of Oaxaca


The 10th federal electoral district of Oaxaca is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 10 such districts in the state of Oaxaca.
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 deputies elected from the third region.
Oaxaca's 10th district was created as part of the 1977 electoral reforms. Under the 1975 districting plan, Oaxaca had only nine congressional districts; under the 1977 reforms, the number increased to ten. The newly created district elected its first deputy, to the 51st Congress, in the 1979 legislative election.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Carmelo Cruz Mendoza of the National Regeneration Movement.
