# 2nd federal electoral district of Oaxaca

The 2nd federal electoral district of Oaxaca (Distrito electoral federal 02 de 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 ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.

## District territory

Under the National Electoral Institute's 2022 districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 2nd district comprises 74 of the state's municipalities in the Cañada region and neighbouring areas. The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Teotitlán de Flores Magón.
With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 73% of its population, it is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.
