# 7th federal electoral district of Guerrero

The 7th federal electoral district of Guerrero (Distrito electoral federal 07 de Guerrero) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Guerrero.
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 ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fourth region.

## District territory

Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 7th district covers six municipalities in the central part of the state:
* Chilpancingo de los Bravo, Eduardo Neri, General Heliodoro Castillo, Leonardo Bravo, Mochitlán and Tixtla de Guerrero.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state capital, the city of Chilpancingo.

## Previous districting schemes

* Chilpancingo de los Bravo, Eduardo Neri, General Heliodoro Castillo and Leonardo Bravo.

### 2005–2017

The 2005 districting plan assigned Guerrero nine districts. The 7th district's head town was at Chilpancingo and it covered five municipalities:
* Chilpancingo de los Bravo, Coyuca de Benítez, Mochitlán, Quechultenango and Tixtla de Guerrero.

### 1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Guerrero's district allocation rose from six to ten. The newly restored 7th district's head town was at Acapulco and it covered a part of that city and the rural portion of its surrounding municipality.
