# 2nd federal electoral district of Michoacán

The 2nd federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 02 de Michoacán) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eleven such districts in the state of Michoacán.
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 fifth region.
