# 9th federal electoral district of Michoacán

The 9th federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 09 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.

## District territory

Michoacán lost its 12th district in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 9th district covers five municipalities in the centre-west of the state:
* Nuevo Parangaricutiro, Taretan, Tingambato, Uruapan and Ziracuaretiro.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the state's second largest city, Uruapan.

## Previous districting schemes

Between 2017 and 2022, the district's head town was at Uruapan and it comprised solely that city and its surrounding municipality.

### 2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting plan, Michoacán lost its 13th district. The 9th district's head town was at Uruapan and it covered six municipalities:
* Nuevo Parangaricutiro, Taretan, Tingambato, Uruapan and Ziracuaretiro, as in the 2022 plan, plus Gabriel Zamora.

### 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 the reforms, Michoacán's allocation rose from 9 to 13. The 9th district's head town was the city of Apatzingán de la Constitución and it was composed of four municipalities:
* Apatzingán, La Huacana, Múgica and Parácuaro.
