# Fourth Federal Electoral District of Chihuahua

The Fourth Federal Electoral District of Chihuahua (IV Distrito Electoral Federal de 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 currently operating in the state of Chihuahua.
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 districting scheme, Chihuahua's fourth district covered the southern portion of Ciudad Juárez.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Ciudad Juárez.

## Previous districting schemes
