13th federal electoral district of Chiapas

The 13th federal electoral district of Chiapas (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 13 de Chiapas) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas. 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 third region. The district was created by the National Electoral Institute (INE) in its 2017 redistricting process and was first contested at the 2018 general election. The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Jorge Luis Villatoro Osorio of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM). == District territory == Under the National Electoral Institute's 2023 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the district covers 206 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) across 14 municipalities in the south of the state, including a portion of the border with Guatemala: Amatenango de la Frontera, Bejucal de Ocampo, La Grandeza, Huehuetán, Huixtla, Mazapa de Madero, Mazatán, Motozintla, El Porvenir, Siltepec, Tapachula, Tuzantán, Villa Comaltitlán and the new municipality of Honduras de la Sierra.
