# 36th federal electoral district of the State of Mexico

The 36th federal electoral district of the State of Mexico (Spanish: Distrito electoral federal 36 del Estado de México) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 40 such districts in the State of Mexico.
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.
The 35th and 36th districts were created by the Federal Electoral Institute's 1996 redistricting process and were first contested in the 1997 mid-term election.
