# 2nd federal electoral district of Yucatán

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

Yucatán gained a congressional seat in the National Electoral Institute's 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which will be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the reconfigured 2nd district is located in the north-central part of the state. It comprises 48 municipalities:
* Acanceh, Baca, Bokobá, Buctzotz, Cacalchén, Cansahcab, Cenotillo, Chicxulub Pueblo, Conkal, Cuzamá, Dzemul, Dzidzantún, Dzilam de Bravo, Dzilam González, Dzoncauich, Hocabá, Hoctún, Homún, Huhí, Ixil, Izamal, Kantunil, Mocochá, Motul, Muxupip, Progreso, Sanahcat, Seyé, Sinanché, Sotuta, Sudzal, Suma, Tahmek, Tecoh, Tekal de Venegas, Tekantó, Telchac Pueblo, Telchac Puerto, Temax, Tepakán, Teya, Timucuy, Tixkokob, Tixpéhual, Tunkás, Xocchel, Yaxkukul and Yobaín.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the port city of Progreso.
The district has a population of 392,305. With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 76% of that number, Yucatán's 2nd – like all the state's electoral districts, both local and federal – is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district.

### 1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2005, the district's head town was at Progreso and it covered the north-west region of the state.

### 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, Yucatán's district allocation rose from three to four. The 2nd district had its head town at Ticul, some 100 km south of the state capital, Mérida, and it covered 39 municipalities in that region of the state.
