# 4th federal electoral district of Michoacán

The 4th federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 04 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 4th district covers 15 municipalities in the north-west of the state:
* Briseñas, Chavinda, Cojumatlán, Cotija, Jacona, Jiquilpan, Marcos Castellanos, Pajacuarán, Sahuayo, Tangamandapio, Tingüindín, Tocumbo, Venustiano Carranza, Villamar and Vista Hermosa.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Jiquilpan de Juárez.

## Previous districting schemes
### 2017–2022

Between 2017 and 2022, the district covered practically the same area as in the 2022 plan: it included the municipality of Los Reyes but did not include Jacona. Jiquilpan was the head town.

### 2005–2017

Under the 2005 districting plan, Michoacán lost its 13th district. The 4th district's head town was at Jiquilpan and it covered 14 municipalities. The differences from the 2022 plan were the exclusion of Pajacuarán and Vista Hermosa and the inclusion of Ixtlán.

### 1996–2005

Under the 1996 districting plan, the district's head town was at Jiquilpan and it covered 13 municipalities in that region of the state. The configuration was broadly the same as the 2022 plan: Briseñas, Chavinda, Jacona and Tangamandapío were not included, while Peribán and Los Reyes were.

### 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 4th district's head town was at La Piedad and it covered nine municipalities in the north of the state: Angamacutiro, Churintzio, José Sixto Verduzco, La Piedad, Numarán, Panindícuaro, Penjamillo, Puruándiro and Zináparo.
