# 2nd federal electoral district of Nayarit

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

## District territory

Under the National Electoral Institute's 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, Nayarit's 2nd district comprises the municipality of Tepic in the centre of the state. 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 Tepic.

### 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, Nayarit's seat allocation rose from two to three. The 2nd district was in the north of the state and had its head town at Santiago Ixcuintla.
